A"Nature with its universal regard for the preservation of life, has planted in every mother that one, and most important element, the untiring affection for her offspring which makes every care a pleasure, and stores, unconsciously to her, the experience which from day to day accumulates for the benefit of her child." - Dr. Keating. A practical guide to the care and feeding of infant and toddlers including tips that have stood the test of time and others which haven't held up as well, such as "Season all food with salt. It aids digestion." Endpapers have pasted reviews of the book.
