Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the causes behind the high child mortality rates in the 19th-century city of Montreal. The author, a physician, draws on medical studies and observations to determine the primary factors that contribute to the premature deaths of so many children during this time. Through statistical analysis of infant mortality, the author discovers that most deaths are linked to gastrointestinal illnesses and diseases of the brain. The author argues that both of these primary causes are largely preventable through proper nutrition and care. To that end, the author details the mistakes he believes parents are making with feeding practices at the time. He also calls out the general lack of medical care and misapplication of narcotic drugs to treat infant ailments. The author urges parents, caregivers, and the medical profession to take a more active role in preventing unnecessary infant deaths.
