If you've got this antique book, here's how to use it. You can simply sit back and read through the knowledge about children's diseases it offers. When you handle it, be gentle because it's old. Don't bend the pages too hard to avoid tearing. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long as that can fade the pages. And try to keep it away from moisture to prevent more staining. Check on it every once in a while to make sure it's still in good shape.
