 Louis,
The book you mention is "Dr.Spock's baby and child care".My mother had a well worn copy in our house.I saw it once and when I turned to the chapter on "fever" there was,indeed, a picture of an infant,being held over his mother's lap with a thermometer being held in his bottom between her fingers.The expression on the face is one of surpirse,and who could blame him as a cool,lubricated rectal thermometer tickled his rectum for a long three minutes.

Hi Tom, Louis,

I remember the sketch in Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care fondly.

You describe the sketch perfectly Louis, but it was a sketch so maybe it wasn't what you remember.

What I remember was the baby's surprised look, his arms and hands were out front with the fingers splayed - again surprise, his bottom was bare, but he was wearing little booties...

It may be my imagination, but I think the sketch changed in later editions of the book. It was still the same scene, but less expression, etc.

I think the original sketch artist was having some fun with the baby's look of surprise at the procedure :)

Cheers,

Michael

I remember that sketch as being connected with suppository insertion. Just over the page from "slipped all the way into the rectum where it dissolves etc etc"

I remember the description of giving 'baby' an enema with a 3oz ear syringe...
