308 MEDICAL SECTION 



The physical interests of the child involve first of 

 all system in the routine care, to secure for it quiet 

 of body and mind, regularity in the hours of sleep, 

 of bathing, of feeding and exercise, with proper atten- 

 tion to manual technique in the preparation of its 

 food : The selection of suitable rooms for its waking 

 and sleeping hours as regards ventilation and sun- 

 shine : Thoughtfulness and judgment to ensure 

 proper clothing and bed covering to suit the individual 

 or the temperature. 



The mental correspondence of the child and its 

 caretaker will involve the training of its unfolding 

 mind to recognize and not to fear its surroundings ; 

 to prevent the lavish waste of nerve force which its 

 sensitive organization is apt to suffer ; to train it so 

 that it will learn to govern its own impulses ; to 

 isolate it from the excitement too common in the 

 surroundings of little children ; to exact obedience 

 with a will tempered by kindness and patience, with 

 a nature characterized by self-reliance and self-control. 



We shall thus have gone very far toward guiding 

 the physical development of a normal child and lay 

 the foundation for its life and health. 



CONSIDERATION OF THE ECONOMIC 

 USES OF DRIED MILKS AND PATENT 

 FOODS. 



BY ERIC PRITCHARD, M.D. 



London. 



THE entire history of dried milk covers a period of 

 little more than ten years. Its application in infant 

 feeding dates from the year I9O5. 1 My own experi- 

 ences began in April, 1908, when I commenced to use 

 dried milk in the feeding of normal infants attending 

 at my infant consultations in Marylebone.
