We will suppose first, the case of one, who has abundance of milk but no appetite, or no means of satisfying it, if she have one. Such an one gradually falls into consumption or some other organic disease, or she so impoverishes her system as to bring on palsy, blindness, deafness, intense headache, or insanity. A woman who inherits any disease, no matter what its nature, ought to be specially careful in nursing. My memory teems with cases where young mothers have determinedly suckled, until th...ey have been compelled by the above mentioned diseases to forbear. They have fancied that the existence of milk in the breast showed that they ought to use it, and they have themselves died rather than give up their belief. One lady whom I knew, handsome, well made, active, residing in the country and having ample means of living well, nursed in succession two unusually fine boys, she had ample " dairies " but no appetite, and to keep up the supply of fluid she drank largely of "bitter beer. " Attacks of faintness, giddiness, headache, various pains and sundry other troubles, warned her of her im- prudence, yet she persisted in nursing, until insanity was im- minent, and only staved off by months of unremitting care.
