NOW, FOLKS, PLEASE DO NOT PUSH OR SHOVE - HERE IS THE
 BRADY BABY BOOK.

By special permission of the copyright owner quote two paragraphs from Chapter IS of Au- toba typography, published in these columns in 1920. Chapter IS was about Babies in Books:
 My dad has always wanted to write
 baby book He says every doctor who
 amounts to anything is supposed to get out
 baby book sooner or later. Dad has
 very fetching title all picked out for his
 book and he is only waiting now for the
 right publisher to turn up. The title father
 intends to use for his book is What Don't
 Know About Babies" I should think that
 would appeal to any live publisher. But it
 doesn't. No, they all shake their heads
 over it and say: "No doubt it would make
 a monumental work, but We are not in
 position to undertake the publication of ex-
 ceptionally large volumes" But shucks,
 father does not despair he is young yet.
 Some people imagine it takes lot of knowledge for a doctor to write a book
 about babies. On the contrary, it is mere
 pastime. You ought to see my father writ
 ing books about babies, colds, ,dandruff, ec-
 zema and everything Why all he has to
 do is spread open all the books he has on
 the subject. take composite squint at
 them and dive right in The publishers in
 sist on having books made that way. The
 reviewers do, too I'd rather be than
 any baby in any of fathers books.
 In order to compare at all faborably with
 the general run of book babies a fellow
 would have to be so, good and sweet he
 would never keep through fly time.
 If every doctor of any note got out his own baby book a decade ago, to-day nearly every baby of importance has book of his own. Countless health departments, national, state or provincial, municipal, have issued baby books. You can write almost anywhere to-day and if you inclose a coupon with your name and ad- dress on the dotted line you'll probably receive baby book from the firm. If the care of the baby was a matter of dark mystery in times past, anybody who can read may learn all about it day Y
 Amid the vast profusion of baby books it seems almost sumptuous for Ole Doc Brady to bring his out now, but what am g, ing to do. I ask you, with the book, now that have com. pleted ten years of hard labor on it and no one wants to publish it? Ssss
 Anyway, here it is. The Brady Baby Book Just little booklet, in fact number in the series of Little Lessons in the Ways of Health. Don't ask me for a complete list of these little want you to ask me for what you want and I want you to want it before you ask for it. If you have baby on your hands perhaps you will want the Brady Baby Book. In that case, write and tell me so, inclose a stamped envel- ope bearing your address and a negotiable dime mot a check, postal money order or collection of postage stamps. % lao
 No pretty pictures in the Brady Baby Book. Just concentrated, scientific horse sense about the care of the baby. It contains the special in- formation and advice which the doddering old doctor feels amateur parents most need-and he feels so because of the questions such parents have most frequently submitted to him these past several years In short Dr Brady has en- deavored to compress into this booklet the gist of the practical Instruction or advice that has been printed in this column, in reference to babies, in the course of many years.
