It is very important that a mother should make such information available as it enables her to detect disease at its first appearance, so for her child timely medical assistance insurance. This knowledge will not get hard for them. She has only to observe what this information means health, should consider, and they will at once see that all deviations, the presence of disorder, not the actual disease to describe. With these changes she must to some extent more familiar. 

Sign of health.

Finding the signs of health, first in the good results of the various functions of the body that has made regular calls for the provision, either in excess or deficiency, and a similar regularity in the excretions both in quantity and appearance. 

If the number of healthy babies is observed, something can be learned. It is such a universal roundness in all parts of the body of the child, provided that no such thing as an angle in the whole figure can be found, if the limbs are bent or straight, every line is a part of a circle . The limbs will feel firm and solid, and if they are bent not be found on the joints. 

The tongue, even in health care is always white, but it is free from wounds, cooling the skin, eyes bright, the complexion clear, cool head and abdomen not projecting too far, breathing regularly and without problems.

but if he is awake, the child is happy and cheerful, and friendly with many breaks in his cheerful, happy, laughing, while on the other side while sleeping, it will appear calm, composed of each function, his face showing a expression of happiness, and often, perhaps lit with a smile. 

Just in proportion as the above symptoms are present and can be completely, there may be health really is, and only in proportion to their partial or total absence disease will have usurped its place. 

We will, however, for reasons of clarity, examine the symptoms of the disease because they are manifested separately on the face, gestures, asleep in the chairs, and by breathing and coughing. 

Of the face. 

In health, the air of an expressive Thilde is calm in body and mind, but if the child is sick, this expression is different, and in a manner which to some extent, it is clear which part of the system for errors. 

The eyebrows will be ordered if there is pain, and his seat in the head. This is often the first outward signs of anything wrong, and will occur at the onset of the disease, so if early mark and the right resources are used, the notice may prevent one of the most anxious of infantile complaints "Water in the pipe." 

If this character is unmarked and the above mentioned diseases are threatened, sometimes in the eye is fixed and staring, hot head, and moved restlessly back and forth on the pillow lying or heavy on the arm of her sister, the child starts in the bedroom, grinding his teeth, and awake alarmed and screaming, his face flushed, particularly the cheeks (as if made), his hands warm, but cold feet, his bowels obstinately constipated, and his movements sparse, dark-stained and rotten. 

When the lips are pulled apart to show to the teeth or gums, the seat of pain in the abdomen. This sign is only present during the actual existence of suffering, so if a doubt or the pressure on the stomach exist and review eifect the expression of the face. 

If the pain is caused simply excited by irritation of the intestines of the digestive system, it will be temporary, the characters come and go and experience the spasms, making a slight corrective measures will give relief.

But if the disease can be serious and inflammation occur, this character is constantly present, and soon the face is pale, pale and haggard, whether the child is afraid of traffic and lying on your back with knees to the abdomen, Loading tongue, and breathing while the chest is seen to increase by more than usual effort, the muscles of the abdomen will keep on. 

If the nose is lifted and a rapid movement, there is pain in the chest. 

This sign is usually accompanied by inflammation of the breast, in which case the discolored face, the eyes are more or less rigid, and breathing becomes difficult and rushed, and when the child breathes mode of the observed breast perceived to be unmoved, while the belly quickly lifts on each inspiration. 

Cramps usually through some changes in the air forward. The upper lip is made, and sometimes blue or angry. alternate flushing or paleness of the face, followed by fatigue and sudden animation, then perhaps there is something crossed or an eccentric rotation of the eye to its own axis. 

These characters are sometimes manifest themselves many hours, even days before the attack can be seen as a harbinger, and if detected in time, and appropriate medical help for their resort to the occurrence of an attack can be completely avoided. 

The condition of the eyes should always be visited. In health, they are crisp and clear, but in case of illness, they become dull, and give a serious look on their faces, although they remained after a long stimulation a measure of speed, which is remarkable to think and a kind of pearly brightness which is better known from observation, as they can be described. 

The direction of the eyes, even to watch as this we can learn something. If the child is first brought to light both eyes hardly ever focused on same goal: this is done without any tendency to disease, and only proves that in relation to an object with both eyes only an acquired habit. But if the child at this age, when the eyes are turned by habit to the same object, and then he loses the power to come, this fact could only be regarded as a common disease of the head start. 

Of attitudes. 

The signs of a healthy child are all easy and natural, but the deviations occur in the disease, which often only refer to the nature of the disease. 

Suppose a child to be acquired the power to the support will hold his head, let sickness come, his head will immediately fall, and this power is lost, only to be regained with the return of health, and during intermission, all attitude and movement will be that of fatigue. 

The little girl who just learned to be free to wander from chair to chair, with two or three teeth pressing on and irritating the gums, will be completely removed for a while, his feet, and maybe loll in the crib or on the nursing arm.

The legs are drawn on the belly, and accompanied by crying, are evidence of disorder and pain in the gut. Pressure raised to this part, and you push, the pain. Based on the discharge from the bowels of themselves and their unhealthy character your suspicions, in reference to the seat of the disease are reported at once.

The hands of the child in health are rarely carried out through the mouth, but it would be something wrong about the head and the pain, and small hands are constantly increased by the head and face. 

Occur suddenly, when awake and during sleep, even though the actions of the minor causes, should never be forgotten. It is often approached with the disease brains is connected. It can provide a convulsive fit, and this suspicion is confirmed when the thumb of the child and pulled firmly pressed on the palm where the fingers to compress the open hand can not be easily forced. The original state in the toes, but not present to such an extent, it can be bent downwards and a swollen state of the back of the hands and feet, and both foot and wrist. 

There are other and milder signs threatening convulsions and gestures that must be considered: the head pulled back stiff, a solid arm on the side or near to repair, and one of the legs after stifly drawn. These signs, as mentioned above, confirmed beyond doubt as it is present, certain changes in the habits of the child: If sleep is disturbed, often crying when it fits, great resentment of humor, his face alternately red and pale, sudden animation as a sudden attack of faintness, Catchings of breath, followed by a long and deep inspiration, followed all so much foreshadowing an impending attack. 

Of sleep. 

The sleep of the baby's health is peaceful, calm and refreshing. In early childhood, if not at the breast, it is usually asleep in his bed, and although during the months before he sleeps less, but when the time comes for rest, the child is hardly laid to rest, if it falls into a quiet, peaceful sleep. 

Not so, if ill. It is often unwilling to follow in his crib at all, and requires the nurse to the child in her arms, was asleep, but for a short time and in a restless and disturbed manner.

If the pain, but easy is the face she shows, and as in the waking state, so now then when something is wrong about the head, the contraction of the brow and gnashing of teeth occur if the wrong thing on the belly , the lips are pulled apart, allowing the teeth or gums, and in both cases, the great turmoil and begins to frequent.

Of the seats. 

The movements of the newborn child are dark, love to pitch in both texture and appearance. The first milk, excreted in the breast of the mother, acts as a laxative with the child's gut, and thus in about four and twenty hours is cleaned away. 

From that time, and throughout childhood, the chairman of a lighter yellow color, the consistency of thin mustard, low odor, smooth appearance, and therefore free from lumps or white matter curded and went without pain or a significant amount of wind. And as long as the child health care, will have daily two or three or even four, these evacuations. But when he is older, they are not as often, they are darker in color and firm, but not as much as the adult. 

Any deviation, then the above characters, is obviously a sign of something wrong, and as a disturbed state of the intestine is often the first sign that we have to come from the disease, instructed the nurse every day, watch the evacuations. 

unload your appearance, color and the way the points are mainly to be looked at. If the seat has a very curdy appearance or liquid, or green, or dark, or smell bad, they are unnatural. And in terms of how they are kept, it should be noted that is printed in a healthy child, the motion was adopted with but little wind, and when worn, but with disease, it is disposed of with considerable force that is a sign of great charm. The number and chairs in the twenty-four hours it is important to be passed, so if the child is not his usual exemption (and we must not forget that several children had indeed been in perfect health, to be precise about the number,)

The breathing and coughing

The respiratory health of children in the form of equality inspirations and processes, and breathes quietly, regularly, silently and effortlessly. But let inflammation instead of the trachea or lungs, and inspiration will be in a few hours, so the speed and haste, and perhaps hear that the only focus attention on the fact will at once noticed.

Now, like all the changes that occur in the breathing of the healthy norm, but a slight shades of difference, it is very important to be noticed early. For many of the complaints in the chest, although very formidable in their character, if only seen early by the medical man can be arrested in their progress, but otherwise it's beyond the control of his art. A parent must familiarize themselves with the breathing of the child health, and it's easy to make any changes that may occur.

As a child, the symptoms of a cold, accompanied by hoarseness and a rough cough, always see it with suspicion, and never neglect seeking a medical opinion. Hoarseness is usually not a cold in the child, and these symptoms may herald an attack of "the cross", a disease of rapid progress, and the importance of the components, implementation, since they feature an absolutely vital to life, requires the prompt and decided treatment.

The following observations of Dr. Cheyne are so strikingly illustrative, and so relevant to my present purpose, that I did not mean to be inserted: "In recognition of an attack of croup, which almost always in the evening, probably one day The weather when the child was exposed, and were often catarrhal symptoms for several days, he noted can be generated, in variable spirits, more ready than ever to laugh than to cry, a little red, occasional cough, the sound the cough is rough, perceived as the catarrhal stage of measles. In general, however, the patient has for some time in bed and slept until the nature of the illness which he obviously is threatened, then, perhaps, without waking, He is a very unusual cough, coughed good to anyone who has experienced an attack of croup is known rings as the child was a brass trumpet, it's really clangosa chicks penetrates the walls and floor of the apartment, and deter the experienced mother, 'Oh, I'm afraid that our child is in the trunk! "She runs to the nursery, finds her child is sleeping softly, and hopes they could be wrong, but still tend to him long before ringing cough, a cough, is repeated again and again;. The patient is restless, and then a new symptom is noted, the sound of his voice changed; were prudish, and if his throat swelled, corresponding to the cough, etc. "

How important that a mother must be familiar with the above signs one of the biggest complaints that childhood is over, because if they only send for medical care during the first phase of treatment is almost always successful, while in this "golden opportunity "is lost, this disease rarely have the impact of the measures have been carefully chosen and consistently used.
