"The Mother's Manual of Children's Diseases" by Charles West is a guide from the 1800's intended to help mothers understand the many diseases that can affect babies and children. This book isn't about treating sick children alone, but about helping mothers work with doctors and other experts to give their children better care. It starts by talking about how many babies used to die and the reasons kids got sick, like family history, where they lived, and what they ate. West wanted to calm mothers' worries and teach them how to understand their children's health, including what different symptoms mean and how to care for them in general, and explains what the rest of the book will cover, with detailed explanations of specific diseases and how to handle them.
