The pubicaticR Of this volume has been
suggested by the prevalent amount of mortality
in infancy and childhood. To those who are not
conyersant with statistical tables, the proportion
of early deaths in every civilized country must
be matter of profound a<tonishment. In Eng
land, it appears from Parliamentary Reports,
that for two years during which the inquiry was
conducted, more than one-thrd Of the total num-
Der of deaths occurred under two years of age
According to Belgian tables, nearly the same
proportion prevails in that country. During
period of eight years, in Prussia, the mortality
under one year of age was over twenty per
cent. Similar results have been obtained
IS he III, Of al
ty in France, Holland and Sweden. In our
own country the amount of early deaths is even
more striking. In this City, for term Of years,
it has been shown that nearly one.half of the
whole mortality occurred among children under
five years of age. On the whole, it may be con-
cluded from well attested authority, that in the
civilized world, about onethird of the race perish
within the first three years of existence, and one
half during the first five years. 1t bee ONES
serious question, whether this fearful rate OF
mortality in infancy is a necessary consequence
of the order of the universe, or proceeds from
circumstances which are within the control OF
human agency. In the opinion OF the author,
this result is mainly owing to our ignorance
and mismanagement in relation to the laws
of Divine Providence. His work is de-
signed to impart that practical knowledge
concerning the treatment of children, which
may enable parents to forestal the attacks of
disease Avoiding the recommendation of drugs,
which are always dangerous, and often pernl-
cious, he presents series Of judicious dlree-
,ons, which are founded in nature and common
sense, and which if faithfully carried into effect
would 60 far toward doing away with the need
of a ply sician. His language is always simple
and direct, free from technical terms and adapted
to the mass of the people. His instructions m
case of sudden attack are valuable, and may
be the means OF saving many lives. The most
important part of the volume, however, is that
which relates to the general treatment o.
children, with a view to the preservation OF
health. This abounds with salutary advice,
which is equally applicable under all systems OF
medicine, though prepared with special refer.
ence to the principles of hydropashy. OF all
the popular works by the author Of this volume,
we do not hesitate TO say, that the present is
adapted to be OF the widest usefulness, as 1t
treats with SO much sound Judgment and skill, a
subject of vital consequence to the health of the
community.
