Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diseases of the Digestive Organs in Infancy and Childhood: With Chapters on the Investigation of Disease, the Diet and General Management of Children and Massage in Paediatrics
It is the duty of the child's physician not only to remove disease, but also to manage convalescence and everyday life in such a way that the little subjects confided to his care may be led to complete recovery, and kept in as perfect health as possible. To accomplish these objects in any abnormal con dition, but particularly in the special class of maladies to be presently considered, the ability to direct intelligently the daily regimen is much more important than a mere knowledge of drugs and of the principles of therapeutics.
