Feeding and Care of Infants and Children. By Nurse Hughes.
(Simpkin, Marshall and Co. 2s. ad. net.)—" This little book is the outcome of several years' constant experience in nursing cases of infants suffering from malnutrition. The writing of it was sug- gested by a doctor with whom Nurse Hughes was associated in many cases detailed in the book "—w s quote from the Introduction. We may add that Nurse Hughes's excellent handbook is one which should prove useful to those people who are anxious to educate the middle-class mother to a somewhat more scientific consideration of the problems of infant management. With no pretensions to literary merit it is quite simply written, and the directions given could easily be followed even by a mother who was not accustomed to obtaining her information from books. Dealing, Is it does, chiefly with the cases of abnormally delicate babies, the book containm a number of very useful paragraphs upon the feed- ing and, above all, the clothing of normally healthy children.
