This is one of the best books on the subject with 

 which we have met and one that has given us 

 satisfaction on every occasion on which we have 

 consulted it, either as to diagnosis or treatment. 

 It is now in its fifth edition and in its present form

 prognosis, etc., he has devoted more attention to 

 the diagnosis and treatment of the ailments which 

 he so accurately describes ; and such information 

 is exactly what is wanted by the vast majority of

 work is appropriately devoted to the diseases of author understands what he writes about from a 



practical acquaintance with the diseases incident 

 to infancy and childhood, and also thoroughly 

 comprehends their pathology and therapeutics. 

 The work is fall of original and practical remarks 

 which will be particularly acceptable to the student 

 and young physician ; but at the same time we can 

 with great sincerity commend it to the notice of

 any one in need of information on the subject to 

 procure the work and form his own opinion on it, 

 which we venture to say will be a favorable one.

There is no book published on the subjects of 

 which this one treats that is its equal in value to 

 the physician. While he has said just enough to 

 impart the information desired by general practi-

Works like this one will aid the physician im- 

 mensely, for it saves the time he is constantly giv- 

 ing his patients in instructing them on the sub- 

 jects here dwelt upon so thoroughly and prac- 

 tically. Dr. Keating has written a practical book, 

 has carefully avoided unnecessary repetition, and 

 successfully instructed the mother in such details 

 of the treatment of her child as devolve upon her. 

 He has studiously omitted giving prescriptions, 

 .and instructs the mother when to call upon the 

 doctor, as his duties are totally distinct from hers. 

 American Journal of Obstetrics, October, 1881. 



Dr. Keating has kept clear of the common fault 

 of works of this sort, viz., mixing the duties of 

 the mother with those proper to the doctor. There 

 is the ring of common sense in the remarks about 

 the employment of a wet-nurse, about the proper 

 food for a nursing mother, about the tonic effects 

 of a bath, about the perambulator versus the nurse's 

 arms, and on many other subjects concerning 

 which the critic might say, "surely this is obvi- 

 ous," but which experience teaches us are exactly 

 the things needed to be insisted upon, with the rich 

 as well as the poor. London Lancet, January 28, 1882.
