". . . AND WITH NO LANGUAGE BUT A CRY"

[摘要] IN THIS issue is reported a panel discussion on the subject of colic. The difficulties of this subject are implicit with the consideration of a symptom rather than of a disease entity—it is as though one chose to speak of cough or rash or any other symptom.This symptom complex has little academic standing for the more one is cloistered from the plaints of parents in the evening hours the less important it appears. Every pediatrician who is interminably consulted by the parents of a thriving baby who simply cries, and cries, and cries, suffers along with the distracted mother and the unhappy father and must wish most sincerely that he had a good, and preferably a single, answer to this all too common complaint.
