Consumption from giving of suck

This is first known by a want of Appetite
which is followed by a Decay of Strength
and then by Hysteric disorders. When a Marasmus
comes on 'tis Incurable

Let the Child be weaned as soon
as the Appetite fails and let a Diet
be used that is Nourishing and easy of
Digestion, Exercise and taking the Air
will be proper If there are Signs of Hectic
Fever a Milk diet and Chalybeate waters
is proper
