1. I wish to consult you on many subjects appertaining to the management and the care of children; will you favour me with your advice and counsel? I shall be happy to accede to your request, and to give you the fruits of my experience in the clearest manner I am able, and in the simplest language I can command-freed from all technicalities. I will endeavour to guide you in the management of the health of your offspring;-I will describe to you the symptoms of the diseases of children;-I will warn you of approaching danger, in order that you may promptly apply for medical assistance before disease has gained too firm a footing;-I will give you the treatment on the moment; of some of their more pressing illnesses-when medical aid cannot at once be procured, and where delay may be death;-I will instruct you, in case of accidents, on the immediate employment of remedies-where procrastination may be dangerous;-I will tell you how a sick child should be nursed, and how a sick-room ought to be managed;-I I will use my best energy to banish injurious practices from the nursery;-I will treat of the means to prevent disease where it be possible;-I will show you the way to preserve the health of the healthy, -and how to strengthen the delicate;-and will strive to make a medical man's task more agreeable to himself, -and more beneficial to his patient, -by dispelling errors and prejudices, and by proving the importance of your strictly adhering to his rules.

How many mothers undertake-the responsible management of children without previous instruction, or without forethought; they undertake it, as though it may be learned either by intuition or by instinct, or by affection. The consequence is, that frequently they are in a sea of trouble and uncertainty, tossing about without either rule or compass; until, too often, their hopes and treasures are shipwrecked and lost. The care and management, and consequently the health and future well-doing of the child, principally devolve upon the mother, "for it is the mother after all that has most to do with the making or marring of the man." [Footnote: Good Words, Dr W. Lindsay Alexander, March 1861.] Dr Guthrie justly remarks that-"Moses might have never been the man he was unless he had been nursed by his own mother.
