CHILDHOOD ILLNESS - best common sense help for parents

My pediatric nurse mother-in-law gave me a copy of this book when it was pretty new (1980). She told me it was the best book of advice on the subject she had ever read. She was right, and we relied on it (and her) when raising our 3. Even tho there are some few details where medical advice has changed, the bulk of this book holds up to scrutiny in 2022. Health care begins at home, especially when American health care has become so inexcusably exorbitant. I am trying to find a hard copy of the combined "Childhood Illness" and Childhood Injury" for my children as they rear a new generation.

Better than Dr. Spock's!

All four of my kids were patients of Dr. Schiller and I couldn't have asked for a better pediatrician. This book was my "bible." My kids liked him so much that he finally had to tell them (at 18!) they had to go to another doctor...they were too old for a pediatrician! This book is a must for parents...it really is a common sense approach to caring for young children.

A Mother's Must Read

I relied on this book while raising my eight children. I am saddened that it is not available for me to buy for my children to use while raising their children!

A prescription for peace of mind.

Doctor Shiller's common sense advice kept me calm through many bouts of illness with my three children. Now I'm buying it for them to use as they raise our grandchildren.

Clear, concise, sound advice to have healthy children

Working in medicine does not always prepare you to be a parent. Dr. Shiller's on target "tincture of time" remedies allows the child's immune system to kick in developing antibodies for optimal health. I highly recommend this and look forward to giving it for my grandchildren! Let me know when it is reprinted!
