Excerpt from Save the Babies Motherhood should cause no fear of trouble. Giving birth to a baby is natural and normal. As soon as you know a baby is coming, engage the best doctor you can afford and place yourself under his care.' If you had one miscarriage, another may be pre vented by proper treatment. If you cannot afford a doctor, apply to a hospital or dispensary where experienced doctors and nurses will advise and care for you. A nervous, overworked, underfed woman cannot expect to have a strong, vigorous healthy child. The expectant mother requires an extra amount of sleep, and a day-time rest for an hour or two is desir able. She should keep the windows open while she sleeps. Much climbing of stairs and the use of the sewing machine should be avoided during the later months of pregnancy.

Excerpt from The Care and Feeding of Children: A Catechism for the Use of Mothers and Children's Nurses Three years of daily use of the catechism as a manual for nursery maids have Shown the need of a fuller treatment of several subjects, notably infant feeding, than was given in the first edition. The same want has also been felt and expressed by moth ers and nurses outside of institutions who have made the book a nursery guide. The chapter upon feeding has therefore been entirely rewritten and much new matter introduced, especially that relating to the preparation and use of cow's milk for infant feeding. Many. Other points referring to clothing, growth, and training, have been touched upon for the first time, so that the size of the book has been increased by over one half.

Luther Emmett Holt was born on March 4, 1855 in Webster, New York, United States. He was the youngest of three children. His father, Horace Holt, descended from Nicholas and Elizabeth Holt who came to Boston in 1635, was a farmer of limited means; his mother, Sabrah Amelia Curtice, was a remarkable woman who exhibited the traits of mind and character later exemplified in her son. Holt's boyhood was uneventful.
At the age of sixteen Holt entered the University of Rochester, graduating in 1875, seventh in his class. After teaching for a year he began medical study at the University of Buffalo. At the end of the first year, however, he went to New York City to become interne in the service of Doctor V. P. Gibney at the Hospital of the Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled, and to continue his medical studies at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. This step marked the beginning of his career, for it established him in New York City, brought him in contact with Doctor Gibney, the mentor of his early years and his lifelong friend, and started him in orthopedics, which proved a natural gateway to pediatrics. Holt received his doctor's degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1880.
Holt opened an office in New York City for the practice of medicine. Though he accepted at this time an assistantship in orthopedics under Doctor Gibney at the newly created New York Polyclinic, his interest and activities turned more and more toward the medical ailments of children. He received posts in the next few years at the Northwestern Dispensary, the New York Infant Asylum--now the Nursery and Child's Hospital--and the New York Foundling Hospital. Holt considered that the experience in pathology which he gained at the New York Infant Asylum was the foundation for his knowledge of disease in children. In 1884, during three months' travel abroad, he obtained his first glimpse of European medicine.
The Babies Hospital of New York City, the first in this country to be devoted to children, was founded in 1887, and the following year Holt was selected to take charge of it. Under his leadership the hospital grew and became internationally known. It was, medically speaking, his creation. In 1890, when he was appointed professor in the newly established chair of diseases of children at the New York Polyclinic, he entered into the most productive period of his life. For the instruction of the nurses (nursery maids) of the Babies Hospital, he devised a catechism of twenty-three questions which was published in 1893 and was amplified the following year, for the use of the mother in the home, into a book of sixty-six pages entitled The Care and Feeding of Children (1894). The success of this book was unparalleled in medical publication; it ran through more than seventy-five printings, was translated into three languages, and made Holt's name a household word.
Two years later, 1896, appeared The Diseases of Infancy and Childhood, a textbook on pediatrics which became the standard in the English language and so remained through twelve editions. In this volume he defined and coordinated pediatrics, separated it as a specialty from internal medicine, and placed the subject on a high plane of excellence. He furnished for the first time in any language a clear, well-balanced, complete exposition of the infant in health and disease and of the principles of feeding and care.
In 1901 Holt resigned from the New York Polyclinic to take the chair of pediatrics established for him at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, a post which he held until 1921. In his later years he became more and more interested and active in the social aspects of pediatrics. In 1919 he was asked as a delegate to attend the International Medical Conference at Cannes called by the Red Cross Societies of the Allied Powers. In August 1923, he left for China to become for a year visiting professor of pediatrics at the Peking Union Medical College. There he died suddenly on January 14, 1924.
Holt was one of the advisers called by John D. Rockefeller in connection with the founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, and was a member of the original Board of Directors. The influence which he exerted toward the improvement in the milk supply, the reduction of summer diarrhea and of infant mortality, cannot be overestimated. A master in the art of private practice, he found great satisfaction in it and believed it essential for the best clinical development. A teacher by nature, he felt keenly his obligation to prepare the student for the daily demands of office and bedside. He habitually chose, therefore, as subjects for his lectures and clinics--which were models of thoroughness, clear analysis and concise expression--the common, often seemingly trivial, diseases and conditions. Through his unconscious example he succeeded to an unusual degree in inculcating his own highly developed, intelligent methods of work, characterized by system, precision, and thoroughness. He made several notable addresses and wrote many articles of importance on a variety of medical subjects, but his most valuable contributions were the two books already mentioned. His great achievement was as an educator.
