An ageless manual on the care of a child in regards to health. All about the nursery environment, how the child should dress and bath, how they should be fed and when to give medicine. A very interesting read.
From the preface...
There is a prejudice abroad, to some extent, against agitating the
questions--"What shall we eat? What shall we drink? and Wherewithal shall we be clothed?"--not so much because the Scriptures have charged us not to be over "anxious" on the subject, as because those who pay the least attention to what they eat and drink, are supposed to be, after all, the most healthy.
