Metropolitan Borough of Poplar.
MOTHER,
the Poplar Borough Council, with the assistance of the Royal College
of St. Katharine and the Poplar Infant Care Association, are anxious
to do all they can to help you in any difficulty you may have with
your little ones, and wish to
BRING
to your notice the fact that there have been established throughout the
Borough "Maternity Centres" (as under) to which mothers who are
expecting little ones may come, or to which you may bring
YOUR
baby or any child under school age to consult the doctor or trained
nurses who are in attendance, and obtain advice either about your
own health or that of the
BABY
Perhaps you do not know that over 500 (five hundred) 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 Royal College of St. Katharine, the Poplar Infant Care Association,
and the Poplar Borough Council 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 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.
