Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diet for Children, a Complete System of Nursery Diet With Numerous, Recipes; Also Many Menus for Young and Older School Children: A Home and School Guide for Mothers, Teachers, Nurses and Physicians
A further study of the subjects taken up in my previ ous books and the cordial reception given them by the medical profession, the press and the general public, com bined with many requests from mothers and nurses for an inexpensive handbook that would show them in still greater detail the working out of the principles advanced in the earlier works, lead me to ofi'er this book in the hope that it may sufficiently meet their needs. It should show them how, under conditions of health, as well as of ill ness, they may often assist and control a child's mental, physical and moral growth through that care which de pends ou simple wholesome food, well selected, well pre pared and carefully given. It is hoped that this volume will meet the daily requirements of physicians who rarely have the time to direct in detail the management of chil dren's diet. It should also suggest to the mother and nurse just when the physician should be sent for, and when they may themselves aid him in his efforts by the exercise of intelligence and judgment in the selection and preparation of foods indicated for various ages and vary ing conditions of illness and convalescence.
