A Catechism for the Use of Mothers and Children's Nurses. By L. Emmett Holt, M.D., Sc.D., LL.D., Professor of Diseases of Children in the College of Physicians and Surgeons (Columbia University), Consulting Physician to the New York Infant Asylum, and to the Hospital for Ruptured and Crippled. Fourth edition, revised and enlarged. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents net; postage, 7 cents additional.

Probably no book ever written has relieved more human suffering or actually saved more little lives than this simple catechism of Dr. Holt's.

Thousands of copies have found their way into homes all over the land, and in only too many instances have the words and instruction of this eminent authority revealed a surprising lack of knowledge, even on the part of the more intelligent, regarding some of the simplest requirements for the care of children. Its most direct appeal is to the new mother, answering as it does every question which lack of experience may suggest and putting into her mind many thoughts that would not occur to her at all, but which Baby is sure to profit by. The book does not stop here, however, but continues as a guide up to the seventh year. A new edition is now ready, thoroughly revised by the author, and all the latest results of experiment and scientific treatment incorporated.

What The Authorities Say

"Just the thing to put into the hands of a young mother." - Medical Standard.

"The cost is so moderate that it would pay doctors to make a present of the book to deserving mothers and nurses."

- Virginia Medical Semi-Monthly.

"It combines simplicity, brevity, and exactness upon such points as a child's nurse needs to know." - Medical World.

"It is indeed a condescension for Professor Holt to have written this humble, simple, little catechism, but that is but a sign of the author's true greatness." - The Hahnemannian Monthly.

A Volume For Emergencies

A Manual of Instruction in the Principles of Prompt Aid to the Injured.

Designed for Military and Civil Use. By Alvah H. Doty, M.D., Major and Surgeon, Ninth Regiment, N. G., N.Y., Attending Surgeon to Bellevue Hospital Medical Dispensary, New York. Fourth edition, revised to date. With 96 Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 net.

This book is intended to impart the knowledge necessary for the prompt and intelligent care of persons suffering from hemorrhage, fractures, dislocations, wounds, contusions, burns, shock, sprains, poisoning, the effects of heat or cold, apoplexy, epilepsy, etc. It explains the proper treatment of those rescued from drowning, and other accidents which are liable to occur at any time, the results of which may be materially influenced by the care and attention which the sufferer receives at the outset. Each topic is explained in plain and simple language, and when medical terms are used their lay synonyms are also given. Of special interest to military organizations is the manner in which the matter has been arranged and points introduced that will be of use to the ambulance corps. The United States Army Drill Regulations for the Hospital Corps are given in complete form with profuse illustrations. In the new edition the chapter on disinfection has been entirely rewritten, in order to embody the results obtained by the latest scientific investigation. Those relating to wounds, hemorrhage, hygiene, poisons, etc., have been thoroughly revised. It is a work that should be in every home and office, and in the Company rooms of every military organization.
