THEHEALTH-CAREOF THEBABYBy LOUIS FISCHER, M.D."THE HEALTH-CARE OF THE BABY" is a book that should be in the hands of every mother and nurse. Every mother should be acquainted with those ills that are common to babies. She should know what to do when a doctor can not be had readily; while traveling, for instance. In this book Dr. Fischer, and he has had wide experience in the treatment of children, gives suggestions and advice for feeding the infant in health, and when the stomach and bowels are out of order. The book also tells how to manage a fever, and is a guide to measles, croup, skin diseases and other ailments. It tells what to do in case of accidents, poisons, etc. The correction of bad habits and the treatment of rashes are given careful consideration."This book will be found of great assistance to mothers generally, dealing with a subject of great interest to the new, as well as to the old mother. Teething is properly rid of its horrors by positive statements that it is a normal process entirely. The chapter on Infant Feeding is very practical and thorough. We commend the book to all mothers."—Monthly Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Louisville.12mo, Cloth. 75 cents, net; by mail, 83 cents.FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, PublishersNEW YORK and LONDON

The Care and TrainingOFCHILDRENByLe GRAND KERR, M.D.No two children are exactly alike; not even those of the same family with hereditary influences, environment, and economic conditions the same. Their temperaments, their ambitions, their ideas of life, it will be noted, are widely different. For committing a wrong act one child needs punishment, while on a like occasion another child needs advice. To bring up their children so that they will be vigorous, noble men and women is the most perplexing problem that confronts mothers and fathers to-day. Dr. Kerr, from his close association with children, is well qualified to enlighten parents on these difficulties. In this book he has given thorough treatment to the training of children, hygiene, physique, mentality, and morality. After one has read the book there seems to be no phase of the question that has not been covered. The young parent will find it a wonderful aid; the elder parents will want to pass it on to their children.12mo, Cloth. 75 cents, net; by mail, 84 cents.FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, PublishersNEW YORK and LONDON
