By wetnurse, including rules for choosing the woman. 3d, Artificial Feeding. This part of the subject is elaborated carefully, so as to include everything of importance, and will be found of great service to the monthly nurse.

"Dr. Starr's experience as Clinical Professor of Diseases of Children in the University Hospital and as physician to the Children's Hospital, with his eminence in private practice among juvenile patients, is ample warranty for the satisfaction and instruction to be found in this book. The dedication "To my Little Patients," shows the sympathy with which the writer enters upon the important discussion. The volume is entirely in the modern lines of preventive medicine-more important in the nursery than at any other time of life; because constitution building is going on then and there. In this admirable treatise, so clearly written that no mother need be deterred by fear of medical terms from making its teaching her own, Dr. Starr carries out the highest ideal of the modern physician, so to regulate the lives of his professional clients that the occasions are less frequent when he need be called in to act for serious complications. * ** * * With the numerous good treatises on the subject that Philadelphia publications include, this intelligent work is the most distinguished, as it is also the latest work on complete Hygiene of the Nursery."—The Ledger, Philadelphia.
