Excerpt from Mother, Baby, and Nursery: A Manual for Mothers If the anxiety and solicitation of mothers in the care of their babes, especially the first born, shall be lessened and made somewhat easier, the mission of the book and the intent of the author is accomplished. The illustrations of the book are all from living pictures. It has been the habit of the author, when the attendant at a birth, to ask for a photo graph of the baby. Added to this collection have been gifts of the photographs of babies with whom we have had much to do as a physician. In this way has been gathered a collee tion of living pictures from which these illustrations have been taken. If any parent should recognize a familiar face in these pages, we beg pardon if they are sensitive and say it was used because that particular one fitted into place.
