Book Description
From the PREFACE. THE CIRCULATION of my four Books is very large : Forty-seven thousand copies of Advice to a Wife, forty-seven thousand copies of Advice to a Mother, ten thousand copies (including the present edition) of Counsel to a Mother, and two thousand copies (first edition) of Aphorisms for Parents have already been published -- making an aggregate of my four books, and of the English Editions alone, of upwards of 100,000 copies. The aggregate sale for the one year -- the last -- amounts to about 15,000 copies -- equivalent, in one twelve-months, to fifteen ordinary editions, and still the sale rapidly increases. I again wish to call my reader's particular attention to the milk-water-salt-and-sugar food (page 19), as one of the best -- if not the very best -- substitutes either for a mother's or for a wet-nurse's milk. Some of the finest children I have ever seen have been brought up upon it -- and upon it alone -- from their birth until they have been seven or nine months old; until, indeed, they have begun to cut their teeth; I mean, of course, when the mothers themselves were totally unfit -- as, unfortunately they frequently were, and are -- to suckle their own babes. If this food be used -- it should be used in its integrity, and with all the precautions and directions as advised in the text. It more resembles a mother's own milk than any other food I am acquainted with : hence the secret of its great Success. I have been frequently asked by patients as to the desirability, or otherwise, of their substituting Condensed Milk for new milk for their children. I have, in this edition, replied to such inquiries. Much additional matter has been added to this edition; among the rest a chapter "On Costive Bowels" (page 239) -- a subject demanding deep consideration, as the constant giving to a child, and, indeed, to everyone else, aperient medicine is pregnant with danger, and alike subversive of comfort, of comeliness, of health, of strength, and happiness, and is a bungling, blundering, and barbarous method of opening the bowels of a child who is habitually costive. (See, likewise, page 56.) The majority of cases of habitual costiveness is due to the administration of aperients; if a child never does take an aperient, he, as a rule, never requires one -- his bowels not being costive -- of this I am quite convinced. The frequent giving a costive child aperients is a grievous ill: it predisposes him to cold; it weakens his digestion; it knocks the strength out of him; it confirms his costiveness; it prepares the way for many and serious diseases. High time it is that attention was called to the subject, and that means were used to abate the wide-spread evil, and thus to stay "the slaughter of the innocents." Having devoted much labour in preparing this third edition, I flatter myself that I have greatly improved it. I resign it into the hands of my fair readers and of my numerous friends and patients -- assuring them that I have lost no opportunity, and have spared neither time nor pains to make this book still more worthy of their approval and of their acceptance. In conclusion: I wish to impress the following facts -- for they are facts -- deeply into my reader's mind: Many of the diseases, and a large percentage of the deaths of children, are preventable; but, then, vigilance, discipline, and good management must rule in the nursery and in the household generally. These pages are intended to help a mother in her arduous undertakings, and to smooth her path through difficulties, dangers, and perplexities. "Prosper Thou the works of our hands upon us, O prosper Thou our handy-work." --PYE HENRY CHAVASSE.

Book Description
This is a catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of rare books dealing with "popular medicine" in early America which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction [from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby], venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education. These books, covering areas largely ignored by the medical profession, made important contributions to the health of the American public, and the collection is a vital piece of medical history. The collector is Edward C. Atwater, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and the History of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical School. Christopher Hoolihan is History of Medicine Librarian at the University of Rochester Medical School's Edward G. Miner LIbrary.

Book Description
Using the perspectives of social and cultural history, and the history of psychology and physiology, Strange Dislocations traces a search for the self, for a past that is lost and gone, and the ways in which, over the last hundred years, the lost vision has come to assume the form of a child.
