 be at once undressed, taken to a warm fire, and rubbed briskly with a flannel moistened with some stimulating substance, as alcohol, whiskey, brand}^, or camphorated spirit; and, if the child is still disinclined to nurse, milk should be drawn from the breast, and given with the spoon until there are signs of restoration of strength. It should be wakened every hour or two, and fed as above, until it is able to take the nipple, and nurse itself.

It is difficult to say how long a child should nurse; for what is plenty for one may be too little or too much for another; but, if in good health, the child may be allowed to nurse until it is satisfied, for Nature will relieve it by a good throwing up if it has taken too much. If the act of nursing lulls it to sleep before it has had a fair allowance, wake it up, and it will go on nursing again. As soon as it has had enough, and drops asleep, put it in its cradle: do not retain it one minute longer on your arms, lest it might take cold, or contract such habits of sleeping out of its bed, that will be difficult to conquer when the holding the child becomes a labor, and ceases to be a pleasure.

While the child is at the hreast, notice if it swallows; for often it plays with the nipple without drawing the milk: the act of deglutition is very apparent by the motion of the throat.

Never neglect to make the child nurse at both hreasts during the same meal: this will prevent engorgement of one breast while the other is emptied, and will also accus- tom the child to lie on either side without preference.

In case the breasts become so distended with milk as to be painful to the mother, and make it difficult for the child to hold the nipple deeply embedded in them, the pump should be applied, and some milk drawn before nursing.

Breast-glasses or reservoirs can be worn by the mother.
