Metropolitan Borough of Poplar.
MOTHER
the Poplar Health Visiting Association, which consists of a number of
ladies and gentlemen anxious to do all in their power to help you, and
who are working in the Borough, wish to
BRING
to your notice the fact that they have decided to extend their work by
establishing in each district a " Consultation Day for Mothers and
Babies," to which you may bring
YOUR
baby, and get advice either about your own health, or that of baby, from
the doctor or trained nurse who will be in attendance. Medicine will not
be given, but if found necessary either for you or
BABY
you will be advised where to go. Perhaps you do not know that nearly a
thousand babies, under one year of age, die each year in your own Borough,
others, who struggle on, are weak and unhealthy. This ought not
TO BE
and the Association are doing their best to prevent it, and want you to
co-operate with them. Most of the deaths are due to improper feeding,
mothers in their anxiety often giving them the wrong thing, because they
think baby is not getting on. The best way to find out, is to have baby
WEIGHED
regularly. A steady increase in weight being a sure indication that baby
is thriving, and as there is a proper machine for this purpose, you are
cordially invited to bring your baby to be weighed, and get advice if you
need it.
