Excerpt from The Mother's Hand-Book: A Practical Treatise on the Management of Children in Health and Disease; With an Appendix; Containing Articles on Diseases and Accidents That May Suddenly Happen to Grown Persons
While directions are given for the administration of medicines in simple cases, and when emergencies require prompt action, it has been the aim of the writer to discourage the mother from assuming the func tions of the physician and undertaking to treat, by means of drugs, dis eases of a serious or complicated character.
The author believes that to recommend a large number of medicines in the treatment of the various diseases to which children are subject would confuse the mother and lessen the value of the book. He has; therefore, confined his treatment to but few remedies, which he believes to be both safe and efficient.
If a mother has some knowledge of diseases and their management, she will often be able to relieve her child of pain and discomfort which might otherwise continue for hours. This is especially true when no medical practitioner is within easy reach.
