Description
Excerpt from Indian Babies: How to Keep Them Well
MY friends: Do you know that one Indian baby out of every three dies before it is 3 years old because it does not have the right kind of care?
The reports which I receive from superintendents, doc'tors, field matrons, and others show this to be true.
Do you know that a great many of these deaths can be prevented? It is not natural for a baby to be sick. Health is its normal condi tion. It is a pity, therefore, that so many Indian baby lives have been lost because their mothers did not know how to keep them well. Almost every sickness your baby has had could have been prevented.
You are very much interested in the welfare of Indian babies, and I am, too. I hope you will read this pamphlet and faithfully follow the suggestions it contains. Possibly you will find that some of these differ from what you. Have supposed to be the best rules for taking care of your baby. It is because so many Indian mothers follow wrong ideas in caring for their children that so many of them die.
I am sure, therefore, that if you will endeavor to care for your little ones as suggested in this pamphlet you will be rewarded with the best and most wonderful: possession any of us may ever hope to attain - healthy and happy children.
At the close of this pamphlet you will find my Save the Babies letter of January 10, 1916.
Tell your friends about this pamphlet and explain it to those who can not read. If you desire more copies the superintendent, doctor, field matron, or any other Indian Service employee will be glad to obtain them for you.
