Don't Take Neighbor's Advice When Baby Is Sick

lly Ilr. S. Jonephlnr Ilaker. I wish to give a few little talks to mothers on how to take care of their babies. During the hot days the mothers' taBk Is harder than in any other time In the year. So I am going to try to tell you a few things that may keep your baby well at a time when so many babies are dying. My first caution Is. don't ask your

neighbors to tell you what you had j better do with your own baby. If you ! do thRt, I might Just as well not give j these little talks, for anything I might j teach you may be undone by the guess ,

work of some foolish woman next door. Let is give you some reasons why

a doctor or nurse knows better than your neighbor what to do for a baby, j Your neighbor may have taken care of ; six or seven children of her own In ; the little time she.-had left from her , regular work. That Is her whole jex- . prience. The doctor and nurse have ! taken care of hundreds of babies, j That is their regular work. They have: studied those babies carefully. Besides that, they have studied the ex- ! perience of thousands of other doc-

tors and nurses for a great many years past. Your neighbor may know more about sewing or washing or cooking or keeping house than the doctor does. That's her work. Taking care of baby's health is the doctor's work. He has spent years finding out the best way to do It. You -wouldn't go to a baker next door and ask him how to make a dress. Then why do you go to a washerwoman or a cook or a seamstress to -""find out how to take care of j'our baby?

No two neighbors will tell you exactly the same thing. That shows how much their advice is worth. They have had different babies. None of them know your baby. No two babies are alike. "What was eood for your neighbor's baby, may be poison for yours. Doctors and nurses have studied hundreds of babies and know how to tell one kind of baby from another. They can tell by studying your baby, which kind It is and what Is best to do for It. One day a baby cried a great deal and seemed very hot and uncomfortable. It was the mother's first baby and she had no idea what to do. She

ATTENTION OF MOTHERS

During the hot days which come with August anil September many mothers find , the problem of keepin gthe baby well and strong well nigh Impossible. On every hand mothers, particularly mothers with many house cares and with large families have their days made more burdensome by crying, fretting babies. To the mother who is untrained and whose children cannot be reared under the most favorable circumstances, having the luxuries and comforts which are so expensive, the days are Indeed terrifying In the constant problems concerning the little one's health which must constantly be solved. It is to help these mothers and to insure the babies' welfare that Dr. S. Josephine Baker, the prominent authority on child hygiene has prepared a series of articles in which she has given the simplest and most practical advice for guarding against the baby's sickness. In these talks with mothers she has consented to give the result of her experience in directing the care and feeding of hundreds of ba

bies in the crowded districts of

New York city where chances for contagion and disease are at the greatest.

asked her neighbor on her right what she had better do about it. "My baby was just like that one day," said the neighbor. "The doctor said it was the heat. He made me take off the baby's clothes and wash it in ol water." The mother hurried home to take this advice and on the way met her left hand neighbor. She told her about the baby. "Don't wash It In cold water. The heat made my baby sick one day and the doctor said wash It In hot water." While the mother was trying to decide which advice to take along came an old grandmother and looked at the baby.

j "That baby's got the fever," said the grandmother. "My John had the fever . 40 years ago this summer and the docjtor gave him some fine medicine that cured him. I've got some in my old

' medicine case yet. I'll get you some." But just then by good luck a nurse '

who wan going by heard the baby cry-' ing and stopped anl looked at it. She found that baby was wearing a woolen ,

shirt. It was too hot and of course very uncomfortable. She took It to i the dispensary with the mother where ! the doctor found It perfectly well. I After it had had a cool bath, not a hot lor a cold one and had be-n dressi-d j right, it went quietly to sleep. If the mother had taken the advice of an1 'one of her honeHt neighbors her babv might have died. ' Then again, most of your neighbors are likely to have old-fashioned ideas, '.particularly the old ones whom you are most likely to ask for advice. Our 'grandmothers used to believe in roekjing babies, walking with them, jumpjing them up and down, clothing them (too warmly, feeding them all sorts of ; things when they were very little, let,ting them taste of everything, giving ; them comforters to suck to keep 'them quiet, etc., and a great many of I their babies died, a great many more j than die today, since doctors and I nurses have seen better ways to take j care of babies and teaching them to j mothers. j Then your neighbors will advise you

I to give all sorts of patent baby foods to 'your baby. Only a doctor knows

what food is best for your baby and when to give it. Neighbors will advise you to give all sorts of drugs to your baby when it is sick. Never give medicine unless a doctor tells you to. Many dlfrent kinds of disease look alike to people who haven't studied diseases. Drugs that will curse one, will kill a baby that has another. Only the doctor knows which Is which. How One Rnby Itecamr FJllod. Only the other day 1 learned of a woman who has a blind baby because she thought a neighbor's grandmother knew better than the doctor. Her baby had sore eyes. A doctor gave her an eye wash and told her how to use It. The next day a neighbor's grandmother caniejin and saw the baby. She told the mother to wrap a cabbage leaf over the baby's eyea hs that was the best thing for it. So the mother threw the doctor's eye wash away and did as the old woman told her. When the doctor came again the baby's eyes were so bad that it was too late to save them.
