GESUNDE KINDER: Healthy Children by Dr. H. Hartmann

GESUNDE KINDER: Healthy Children

By

Publisher: Verlag Karl Siegismund, Berlin

This is the account of Professor Szerny's life work. An Austrian, born in the latter half of the nineteenth century, Professor Szerny devoted his life to the study of children, specializing in feeding and diet, vaccination, and child psychology and he succeeded in lowering child mortality to a marked degree. Since his death his conclusions have been tested and proven in hundreds of clinics. Although many of the points discussed are taken for granted today, he was in his time a pioneer and the book may interest layman as well as doctor.
