BIRTH INJURIES

One of the saddest Of the many
sad sights that the DOCTOR sees in
the course of his days work, Is
the mentally retarded child who
owes his almost hopeless cond:-
ton to some injury sustained at
birth. While by no means all
mental retardations come from
this cause, enough of them do to
give US serious pause, and make
US search for some means of pre-
vention.
No, strange as it may sound, II
is by no means always, or even
usually, the attending doctor who
was to blame. Quite as frequent
" it is the mother and father who
by their remissness allowed COM
plications to take place that might
have been avoided had they en-
gagged their doctor in time, given
him all the information he would
have asked for, and followed his
instructions.
And then, even strange, it not
infrequently happens without any
demonstratable cause,-apparent-
" no one was at fault. 1t is quite
as likely to happen from too pre-
cipitate a labor, as from a diff
cult one in which instruments
were required. But this is by no
means as common as are those in
stances when prenatal care and
preparation might have helped,
or entirely prevented the condi-
ton.
Don't drag these children from
doctor to doctor. Follow the in
structiens Of your own physician.
He'll ask for consultation if he
believes this holds out any hope
Of improvement.
