Title: One Month Doesn't Make a Summer
Description: This postcard states that "731 babies [were] saved in July," and reproduces excerpts from the August 2, 1911 editions of the New York Globe, the New York Herald, the New York American, and the New York World to remind readers that the reduction in infant mortality must be continued in August. On the back, an illustration of a healthy baby accompanies quotations advising readers about "what can be done" to help babies and reminding them that "while there's care there's hope."

Title: How Many Babies Did Die? (2)
Description: A double-sided postcard commending the efforts of Montclair, New Jersey to reduce the number of infants succumbing to diarrheal disease during the hot spell of July 1911. What the mortality rate could have been in other cities, had they followed Montclair's example, is explored. On the back, parents are urged to dress their children for comfort, not looks, during hot summer months.
