In view Of the mortality prevailing
among infants during the present warm
weather, we condcnse, for the benefit
of mothers, the rules for the manage
meut of infants during the hot weather
laid down by the obstetrical society Of
Philadelphia.
In grown people, cleanliness is ac-
counted virtue next TO godllncss. As
the souls # the babies are white aud
clean, it i, for their physical well being
that the doctors insist upon absolute
purity Of person, clothing and sur
rouudmcs, and lay this down as the
first law to be observed in securing
them health aud strength.
The mother who wants a healthy
baby, must avoid all tight bandaging,
must have it Sleep in slip at night,
aud put on it clean fresh clothes in the
morning, or if no, fresh, the well aired
clothcs OF the day before.
The baby must sleep by itself in u
cot or cradle, put to bed at regular
hours aud never soothed to artificial
sleep by the use Of spirits, cordials,
carminatlycs, syrups or drops, except
by the advice of physician. 1t must
never be quoted by candy or cake.
The baby must have plenty of fresh
air, mornings and evenings may have
ice-wa,rr II itsecms TO suffer from the
heat, aud must not be kept in II room
where washing and cooking are done.
Mothers milk is the only proper
food for the baby and with plenty OF
this it needs no other, la lieu Of this
cows or goats milk, uuskimmed
slightly sweetened, always fresh-in
extremely warm weather it mast be
boiled and coolcl-should be used
If, unfortunately, the baby, like Pip
must be brought up by hand milk
alone prepared Il, directed, and admin,
istcred through nursing bottle, is to
be Its diet, Sage, arrow-root, corn
flour, crackers, bread, potatoes, all diet
containing starch and all patented food
are not to be depended on as food for
young infants,
When the milk disagrees with a
child, a table spoonful of lime.wate
may be added to each bottleiul, aud
when pure milk cannot be got the con,
densed article is recommended.
The baby must not be weanod lust
before nor during the hot weather, nor
as II rule until after it, second summer
After it is six months old, it NAV have
little stale bread and milk ono.
