HOME TREATMENT FOR THE DISEASES OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN.

[Illustration]

1. Out of the 984,000 persons that died during the year of 1890, 227,264

did not reach one year of age, and 400,647 died under five years of age.

What a fearful responsibility therefore rests upon the parents who permit

these hundreds of thousands of children to die annually. This terrible

mortality among children is undoubtedly largely the result of ignorance as

regarding to the proper care and treatment of sick children.
