Excerpt from Records of Five Years NN ie! Sophie! Come up quick, and see baby in her bath-tub I cries a charming little maid en, running down the wide stairway of an Old country house, and half-way up the long hall, all in a flutter ing cloud Of pink lawn, her soft dimpled cheeks tinged with the same lovely morning hue. In an instant there is a stir and a gush of light laughter in the drawing-room, and presently, with a movement a little more majestic and elder-sisterly, Annie and Sophie float noiselessly through the hall and up the soft-car peted ascent, as though borne on their respective clouds of blue and white drapery, and take their way to the nursery, where a novel entertainment awaits them. It is the first morning of the eldest married sister's first visit home, with her first baby 5 and the first baby, having slept late after its journey, is about to take its first bath in the old house. Well, I declare, if here is n't mother, forgetting her dairy, and Cousin Nellie, too, who must have4 Records of F z've Years.

Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea

Pages : 206
Book Description
Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.

Book Description
Excerpt from After Five Years: The Quinquennial Record of the Class of 1908, Princeton University One evening some three years ago, you addressed an audience in one of our eastern cities; a number of us filled the front rows. You smiled your greeting, and then prefaced your remarks by saying: "I see immediately before me a number of my old scholars. Let me assure you, ladies and gentlemen, these young men will not absorb so much of what I have to say that there will not be plenty left for all." We may have been indifferent students and our absorbing qualities may have been limited, but we were sincere in our appreciation of your teachings and in our esteem for you. In our Princeton fellowship therefore and in token of our regard, we dedicate to you, this book, our Quinquennial Record.

Book Description
Excerpt from On Some Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Dunecht House Aberdeenshire It was known to the archaeologist that there were ogam inscriptions in the district, two Of them being among the most important in Caledonia; and that within an easy motor drive there was a minuscule inscription of six lines Of which no satisfactory explanation had been given. This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.
