The report of the Philadelphia baby saving show, and the proceedings of the Conference on infant hygiene . des, and by divisions. No Philadelphia procession ever equaled the numbers in these throngs seeking knowledge how to keep their babies alive. i 3 281760 4 FOREWORD It was given them. It was flung out in print. It was made plain in made it still plainer. Safety was acted. Hundreds of young women,trained in this wondrous tale, told it in booth and alcove.
