A BABY-HOLDER.
Labour-saving machinery seems likely to multiply until all human effort is made unnecessary. The latest invention is for the sake of nurses and mammas. At present mammas have to carry their children in aching arms. An ingenious inventor begs them to get artificial arms for a few shillings, whereby they can carry children without any danger to their tender backs, but with no expenditure of strength. The child is placed in what is simply an arrangement of straps and netting hung from the shoulders. The mother’s arm is used to keep the child in position, but does not support its weight, consequently suffers no fatigue. It seems like a very good invention, and is a veritable godsend to fragile mothers.
