Hospital Care of Maternity Patients and Their Newborn Infants
At first glance this 76-page booklet raises a question as to whether it was needed, in view of the recent edition of the Academy's manual on the same general subject. More careful inspection and reading fully answers this question, for this manual devotes to the hospital care of the mother the same detailed attention as it gives to her newborn infant. Moreover, it is aimed at one state rather than forty-eight; although this is the largest state in the Union, its Health Officer, Dr. George W. Cox, and his colleagues were able to be more specific and thus occasionally of more direct usefulness to their Texans than could those writing for a national area.
