About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1907. Not illustrated.

Unfortunately, though many children are born, it is no exaggeration to say, I am afraid, that no more than half of them are reared into men and women. The death-rate among small babies is great; in some parts, epidemics of diphtheria have almost become endemic; and if the sanitary arrangements are much beneath the mark for grown-up people, they are much more so for children. And if a Spartan breeding is by far preferable to the up-bringing of weaklings, on the other hand it is a great pity that so many children should be mowed down by preventable diseases. A woman who expects a baby has many rules to observe and much advice to follow, and must do this, and not do that, and so on, until baby has seen daylight. And she is never to look at ugly things or beings, as the child is then in danger of resembling them; and not to steal things--as though that inclination were inherent to her actual state--for the image of the stol...
