HAVE YOU ■
e
�
Do colds settle on your chest or iu your
bronchial tubes? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the rare curative powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott's Emulsion contains Ppure codliver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res-
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the -throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special.

THE BABY'S CLOTHING— (Continued, )
Laundry Rules.
13E FLANNELS, knitted bands, undershirts; etc., should be washed
without a washboard by soft' squeezing with the hands, in warm
water. Any good soap without too much alkali should be used.
They should then be rinsed in several waters of the same tem
pecature, A sudden change from hot to cold water hardens the
fibre of the wool and thickens up the garment. Cotton garments may be
e ashed .in soap and hot - water. '
Care of Diapers.
A 1-'- enamel or galvanized iron pail should be provided to soak the
.-ten taken off and another for soiled diapers. Both s' n+r+ii be
e'en.- See off, the flies. The wet .diapers should - stand in + i •111
sen be ;lashed. The soileddiapers should be cleaned separam'- �`
,)-os`ngs of ., n should be disposed of in the water -closet. Diaper, sttessId
L e scrubbbed with good soap and hot water until clean. They should then'
be rinsed in two or three waters until the water shows clear, ; Sore and
raw buttock may result from the use of improper soap or imperfect wash -
:ng or rinsing. If the water is hard, soften it by using sufficient pure borax.
Clothes dried out of doors are always white and smell sweeter than those
dried inside.
BABY SICKNESS.
The fuss3 babywho may just be begin ingetsick and the sick
n gto .
baby, no matter from whatailment, should be kept strictly in bed. Do not
rock or nurse bim. Keep visitors away from him. How are you to know
uGhardit phe tnaybtherii'�'' not be at the beginning of an attack of scarlet fever, measles,
Get a competent doctor and in the meantime secure good. ventilation
Ly having the window open, with, if possible, a grate fire in the room. The
Temperature should be at 65' Deg. F. Try it with a thermometer;
Write down a record of what is happening so that you may be able to
tell the doctor when he conies. Take the baby's' temperature if you have a
hermometer and know how to use it. Mark down the number and char-
acter of the movements and the seat of pain if there appears to be any -
Think of what food the baby has had, the quantity of urine,and save a
specimen in a clean enamel dish. - Note if there is cough; rapid breathing, or
ubmiting. restlessness, and crying. Mark the color and general appearance
�ndhours of sleep. The written record -makes it easier' for the physicsn
to come to a satisfactory conclusion regarding the trouble.
Getting Well.
When the baby begins to get well, do not stuff him with too much food
A child will take food when he needs it. Some diseases such as acute rheu-
n,atism, tonsillitis, and diphtheria require prolonged rest if full recoverY
is to be expected.
Taking the Temperature.
A baby',, normal temperature runs from 98 to 99'',5 Deg, F. If abovLg'
101 Deg, Is get a doctor at once, Take the temperature in the following
manner: Anoint the bulb end with,vaseline and insert into the rectum for
,'bout one inch. If carefully done there is no pain, 'Leave it there for
,;,,11 a minute and mark down the record. Don't be alarmed if the• tempera-
ture is 101 o.? 102 Deg, E. or over. Many temporary aliments of children
show moderately high temperatures, and relief is often obtained by simple
measures.
Croup.
ii4` t 1,11..
'h
Simple croup is s, spasmodic condition of the larynx (windpipe) with 'r
a rasping cough and difficulty in breathing, It often alarms the mother but
is not• dangerous. In the absence of a doctor,, It is a good plan to induce
vomiting, which may be done by the administration of a teaspoonful of.
syrup of ipeeix.c An infant of six months old should be given five drops
every fifteen minutes till relief is obtained. Inhalation of steam is also
useful. Make a tent over the bed and produce steam by lolling water over
an alcohol stove. A teaspoonful of tincture of benzoin' (Friar's balsam)
to a point of water .is more useful. Hot compresses or a 'mustard plaster
over the upper part of ,he chest is a good measure. Five drops of syrup
ipecac hourly in the evrning will hel$ to prevent recurring attacks.
Have the doctor assure hinisel£ that the baby has no adenoids or largo
tonsils, as these are a common cause of Croup:
