Excerpt from The Diseases of Infants and Children: And Their Homœpathic and General Treatment
After long but unavoidable delay this Manual on children's diseases is sent forth on its errand. It makes no pretensions to be an exhaustive treatise, to write which the author has not had sufficient time at his disposal; it is simply a practical contribution to the alleviation and cure of those diseases which are of most frequent and fatal occurrence. The book is intended to be a companion-volume to the "Lady's Manual of Homœopathic Treatment." Taken together, they deal with subjects of the highest importance, to individuals, to families, and to the community at large. From healthy mothers and a healthy progeny - sound in mind and body - we may expect future generations of healthy men and women.
The present work is, from beginning to end, based on preventive as well as curative treatment. The author, having great faith in the principles and practice enunciated, anticipates the best results from its publication, whenever its hygienic and medical prescriptions are fairly adopted and persistently carried out.
In the treatment of children there is much to encourage the practitioner. Their diseases are generally uncomplicated by internal organic changes, and by those deep and complex disorders of nutrition which result from the abused organs or over-used brains of the middle-aged, or of those degenerative changes which are to be found in the body during the decline of life. Neither are children liable to that emotional depression which often tells so disastrously on the recovery of adults. With them memory has nothing regretful to recall, and, after an illness, hope rises with exultant wing.
