Schieferdecker, M. d., Director of the Hydro
patbic Institute, near Bristol, Bucks county, Pa,
and published by J. w. Moore, 1913 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia As the title indicates, this useful
little work is intended guide for tho rational
treatment Of children in health and disease, by
water. In the preface the author gives careful
and elaborate exposition of the beneficial influence
Of Dir, water, earth, heat, and light upon tho de-
velopement of the human body. He then proceeds
TO the treatment Of children from their BIRTH emu
meraing the various diseases they are subject to,
and showing the manner in which they have to be
treated by water This book is plain, easily under
stood, useful and ought to be in the possession of
every family. 1t also acquires additional in
terest and value from the fact that its author is
immediate disciple Of Presniz tho great founder of
hydropatby, and that he the first to introduce
the cold water system into this country. His
cessful and extensive practice affords abundant
proof OF his uncommon skill and experience in the
treatment Of diseases on the hydropathic prin-
cipe.
