Excerpt from Compendium of Children's Diseases: A Handbook for Practitioners and Students I have added as an Appendix the Rules for Management of Infants which have been issued by the staff of the Bir mingham Sick Children's Hospital, because I think that they have set an example by freely distributing these rules amongst the poor for which they cannot be sufficiently commended, and which it would be wise for other sick children's hospitals to follow. I have also added a few notes, chiefly, of course, relating to the surgical ailments of children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
