Abstract
THE scientific study of motherhood and of babyhood has made great headway in recent years, and has made possible the production of such a book as this, a book which combines simplicity of statement with accuracy of fact. Its contents were formerly published as two separate volumes, which are here expanded and united. The old-fashioned ‘mother's manual’ was usually written by a doctor—of course, a man—who restricted his advice to that which concerned the welfare of the body. It is a sign of the times that this book is written by two women, and that it deals at equal length with the bodily and the mental aspects of healthy growth and development.
