Give them oil—cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret•
ful child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, ana'nlic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat -
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give hits
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
