Excerpt from Practical Infant Feeding
Iibut rather to amalgamate the best points taught in this country and abroad into what I hope IS a homogeneous whole.
It 1s desirable, of course, to make any subject as simple and as easily understandable as possible, and infant feeding need not be made complicated, but, on the other hand, any presenta tion which does not explain underlying processes and the basis of symptoms is not enough for the thinking practitioner of today. As I heard an eminent Philadelphia pediatrist say not long ago, there is at present a tendency to try to make infant feeding so easy for the physician that there is a chance of for getting whether or not the methods used may be suitable for the baby.
The general standard of infant feeding in America has, however, improved greatly in the last ten years owing to the increased interest that general practitioners have taken in it, which is shown by the continually increasing numbers coming for instruction to the large post-graduate schools, such as the Harvard Graduate School of Medicine and the New York post-graduate School.
To such men as this I respectfully offer this book, and sincerely hope that they may find it of value and interest.
I wish especially to thank Dr. W. W. Howell for so kindly consenting to write the chapter on Premature Infants; Dr. R W. Lovett and other members of the staff for permitting me to use several pictures and Roentgen-ray plates taken from their cases in the Children's Hospital; Mr. J. V. Footman for kindly making the prints and taking many pictures, and the publishers for their many courtesies.
