The cure lies with the diet, which should be changed immediately, under the direction of a physician, who will generally stop all proprietary, condensed, and boiled milk, and give whole milk, modified to suit the baby’s age. After the child has passed the first year the physician will order fresh eggs, beef juice, broths, and, possibly, cod-liver oil in emulsion. The little invalid must sleep in a well-aired room and be kept out of doors whenever the weather is pleasant. Scurvy is another disease which can be traced to the use of proprietary foods without fresh milk, sterilized, pasteurized, or boiled milk, and it generally attacks a child between the seventh and tenth month. Among the symptoms are these: Baby cries when handled; when the diaper is being changed; or, in severe cases, when any one touches the bed or bedding. The knee and ankle joints swell and are very tender, but they are not hot to the touch nor inflamed. The baby suffering from scurvy will generally lie on his back with the knees slightly drawn up and held far apart. If he has teeth the gums will swell and turn purple in color, or bleed easily. In some cases there is also bleeding from the nose and from the bowels. A physician should be called at once; but the real treatment is in the hands of the mother, who will give her baby fresh cow’s milk properly modified, and strained orange juice or thin apple-sauce once a day. If the child has passed his first year when attacked by scurvy, he may have potatoes, mashed very fine and beaten light with milk, and other fresh vegetables, cooked very tender and pressed through a vegetable sieve. All this treatment must be given under the direction of the family physician. There are certain ailments which no mother should neglect or attempt to treat. One of these is swollen glands behind and under the jaw and below the ear. These may be due to the presence of infectious diseases, to decayed teeth, enlarged tonsils, malnutrition, or marasmus. They may indicate tuberculosis. Sometimes the growth is gradual; sometimes they appear quite suddenly and disappear without making any great trouble. Occasionally they require incision to let out the pus. This is a simple operation, and recovery is almost always complete in a young child. For retention of urine give the child a hot bath, raising the temperature from 100° to 105° F. If this does not have the desired effect put the child in bed and lay a compress over the region of the bladder. If the child is still unable to pass urine and there is inflammation of the parts, or a slight yellow discharge, a physician should be summoned.
