A little ingenuity on the part of the dress-maker is all that is necessary in designing an attractive and per-fectly practical garment of this kind, and its convenience will beappreciated as soon as it is used. Two thermometers should be taken to each case,—one forthe mothers temperature and the other, a rectal thermometer,for the infant. There should be temperature charts for bothmother and child in addition to the usual blanks for bedsidenotes. Temperature should always be charted, for its entirecourse can then be understood at a glance, while if it is recordedin any other way its significance is not always readily grasped,and unless the notes are studied with great care a single, iso-lated rise of temperature may escape the notice of the physi-cian. The infant is to be weighed at birth, and afterwards once.
