Tonic for Children.
• Cod liver oil is the tome par excellence
for young children. It is as much a food
as a methane, and may be given with more
safety them any other tonic. la is surpris-
ingly well taken, the little patient nob infre-
quently seeming to regard 18 as a luxury. If
the pure on can be given'it is as good or

be forced upon the child. In the brunching
of infants nothing is so effective • as an oil.

The Treatment of Cuts.
• A. doctor writes :--When a out happens,
many people mess at the wound, washing
it, sucking it, and often poultioing it; others
put on cold -water or warm -water dressing.
Nothing, could be more foolish and contrary
to the most edited:wed surgical practice.
Should it be very dim, the veounci can be
waked, but that is rarely caned for. _Gen-
erally speaking, just bring the edges of ithe
wound together, and strap them up firmly
and gently, putting a little bit of lint upon
the place and a fine bandage four or six
times round it, then leaving it quietly to
itself fur several days— In this way Weeding
is prevented, the air is kept out, and. union
takes place at ono.
Children's Clothing.
The clothing of babies must be subject to
the methods of common aenae. The great
rule here is to consider the baby's comfort
and safety. It is as sbameful as it is stile
to make a baby a milliner's model. Millin-
ery, as it is now understeod, should be ban.
billed from the nursery. If the writer conld
be a baby again, and carry his present ex-
perience wich him, elm of the first things he
would do would be to organise a huge con.
spiracy of babies to burn down all the millin-
ers' shops. Is it possible for any man or
woman, inside, or outside a lunette aylum
to conceive anything more entirely datitute
of a single , grain or intelligence than the
clothing of awns babies? le is stiff where it
should be yielding, tight where it should be
loose, short where it :Mould be long and
long where it should be abbreviated. • On
certain peas of the body where clothing
might be diepensed with, as the hands and

ings such as make movements impoesible.
lncertain other parts which ahould be warm-
ly clothed, as the citesc and shoulders) nud-
ity iS the fashion which women most delight
in. But why repeat for the ten -thousandth
time these stale platitudes? For this reason,

Wee of reason s,nd experience may at least
know that they arc wicked fools.
The Time to Give Medicine.
The action of medicine varies greatly, ac-
cording to the time and method otadnainia-
tration. • Iron requires plenty of digestioe
fluid, and :Mould be given soon after eating,
well diluted with water, Oils designed to
act upon the bowels. must be given upon an
empty stomach. tied liver oil, designed as
a general remedy, should be given a half-
hour after eating. Quinine is decomposed
by too active digestion, and should be given
upon an empty etomach. The different bit-
ter remedies designed to Inc:rearm the appe.
tite should be taken before eating, Soda or
other elks/lies, vshea • Lactase the
appetite and aid digestion, inure) be given
'totem male. Ithubarb, frequently au -min-
istered in very email doses for the eame pun

Growth, andWaste and repair go on in

the amount of fend necessary for these oper-
ations is surprisingly small. The generation
of bodily heat requires a moat variable

by which this uniform blood temperance is
mantained at all Beacons is not neoessery to
consider, but it must be evident to every
one thal the force needed to raise the
temperature of the whole body to nearly 100
degrees in winter is no longer needed in
summer. The total amount of food needed
for repair, for growth, and for heating,
physiologyteaches US, is much less than is
i
generally magined, and it impresses ue with
the truth of the great surgeon Abernethy's
saying, Boni "one-fourth of what we eat

of extra exertion. fax summer we get rid of
it literally at some entra risk to health, and,
of course, to life. We cannot burn it. Our

exertion of removing what would better
