The Exeter Times, 1888-8-9, Page 7AdViee en the Qare of Infants During Weather. The poor, who dwell in hot, /stifling, mato. doous houses, which freeh air and cool breezes aeern to avoid, are the onea whom disease and death search out thee summer days. And it is the helpl me little babies in these plane who have moat reason to dread the coming ef the hot aeason. They pay the death penalty for their bad sure roundinge, and suffer for the sins and in. disoretions of their parents. Right here a word of advice can besiven which, if heeded, may sates many of these childi en from the torturous et sickneas said the sadness of death. True, so l\rg as it is necessary for some people to Lye hi houses where pure air is almost Unknown the rate of infant mortalities will be abnormally high, yet a little knowledge and a little care on the part of those who have charge of children will greatly reduce it, What follows may claim the attention of rich as well as poor, fOr , riches do not alvvays bring wisdom, and t children of well-to.do parents are frequent the victims of the oareleesnees and t ignorance of znothers. Three important things in copnectf with the care of children should always remembered— clemliness, pure air and pro- per feeding. 1Vtuch injury is done children by overfeeding them. In the first month or so of a child's life frequent feeding is neces. nary. Its sternach is incapable of hard work, and that organ must gradually be. dome accustomed to the dutiee nature in- tended it to perform. For this reason small quantities of food are taken at a time and the feeding must incur sherb intervals. At first let the intervals be two or three hours long. At raiz months the child should be fed not oftener than five times a day. A child will often seem hungry when a little water will satisfy it. Give pure water or barley water. lao not accustom, your child to feeding during the night. This may easily be avoidedsby beginning rightly. If the child awakes and cries give only water. It will soon go to sleep again and • if it is not given food it will certainly learn not to expect it. This plan is better for • the chiffi, and it saves the mother and every one else abont the holm a deal of trouble. WHAT THE MOTHER SHotrLD EAT. As to thakind of food best suited to young children, it may be accepted as an axiom that unless the mother's milk positively dis- agree with her babe it is better than any arti- ficial preparation. The rule is that that child will thrive best and have the best chence of life which is nourished at its mother's! breast. Even it the milk at find scents to disagree with theenkild, it will usually be found that this is dire to renaovable causes. By atten- tion, to oe, disregard of hygienic rules the milk may be made. healthful or Injurious. The mother with an infant at breast should al- ways remember that fact and regulate her diet accordingly. She should avoid sour foods and drinks, and alcoholic stimulants, for these,have a 'direct effeot upon her milk. Higliriessoned foodzi should not be eaten. Pepp* has a tendency to dry up the milk supply. A little ripe, but not over -ripe fruit, will do no harm, but care must be taken that it is not green or decomposed. The objects to be obtained froth the mother's feeding are to build up her own strength and to produee a plentiful supply of wholesbnie milk for the . Eggs are usually excellent. Milk is good and BO is cocoa and broma. Tender meat, if in a perfect state and well cooked, makes excellent food, but ib should be taken with other foods indicated above, so as not to put too ninon work upon the digestive or- gans. It may be remembered that prefer- ences in food mutt always be consulted,for i the appearance, odor and taste of food s of nutritive value. The mother should avoid, as far as possible, worry and excitement, and it is highly important that she does not sup. ject herself to overheating. All these things directly affect the quantity and quality of the milk supply. auoureciAt, FooD FOR BABIES. -as ....----------- organs.

TEETHING ILLNESSES. With the arab appearance of teeth is a child some food other than milk becomes necessary, Give it a crust of bread to exer- cise upon, and let, it occasionally suck a pieoe of rare beef. Towards the close of the first year the teeth should be corning regularly. A failure in this regard will , usnally mean that something is wrong. The lie •food may not be as nutritious as necessary, II' I or there may be some defect of digestion, he The oblides digestion frequently shoWe signs •of weakness after an attaok of cholera m- en fantum, and aometimers when there has been be no positive sickness. The child does not gain in weight ahd strength as it should, the color is pale and the bones show signs of imperfect development. This la seen in their tendency to bend in the well-known "bow-legs." Under these circumstances the head, too will assume a decidedly square appearance. Well, these sympboms are well marked. They point to the affection known as rickets, which is alwaya due to bad nutrition resulting from improper aur- rounclings. The diet must be made richer in bone.forming material. The child must aiso have plenty of exercise and pure air and sunlight. Some medicine is usually needed, and when the condition de. scribed manifests itself, the parents should consult a physician before the malady has gone so far as to produce malformations. The acute diseases which afflict children in summer are, as a rule, short in their course. When on account of the quality or in auffident quantity of the mother's rank some other food must be provided for e the child it is very iniportant that no mistake be made in selecting the substitute. Goat's milk comes nearest to the infant food of na- ture, but to many people that is out of the question. Besides, even if obtainable'it is sometimes difficult to get children to drink it on account of its strong odor. After this comesi cow's milk. This s difficult to obtain in cities in a pure state, and the quality, of course, is not uniform. To people living in the city, and especially people in hurable circurnstances,it isnot easy to get one cow's milk. It is therefore customary with • physicians to recommend condensed milk, be - callus it is more uniform, less liable to de- composition and parer.. Where cow's milk is used it should be freshly boiledl every time the bottle is filled. The boiling des- • troys any disease germs lurking in the fluid and renders it less liable to irritate the de. Beate stomach of the babe. Weaken it with whier, and add a little • lime water. This aids digestion and prevents the acid stomach to which young children are so li- able. 1VIany artifial foods for infants are advertised nowadays, but probably none of them are equal to milk properly prepare& • Avoid nursing bottles with long rubber •e. tubes. Milk will colleot in them and turn sour in spite of the utmost efforts at • cleanlinese. They cannot be thoroughly °leaflet Such bottlee have produced many cases of intestinal derangement. The simpler the bottle the better. A plain bottle with a rubber nipple ia all that is necessary. Have two bottles, and while one is in use • keep the other in a strong solution of bicarbonate of soda after it has been throughly scoured out. Do not use a nipple too long, It soon becomee saturated with • --the niilk and should be thrown away. These precautions should not be disregarded. Diseadatgerms are facts, and uncleanliness • aide their rapid development. Care in • these matters makes the difference between a healthy and a eickly child. • There is a differeisce of °Pinion among physicians as to the advisability of giving children alcoholic liquids. Some advise giving a very small triaritay, not more than a teaspoonful of whiskey in teVenty four hours, on the hottest days. All agree • that it is easy to tolse too much. Dr. Wan. .A. Hammond, and many others with him, think even the smallest &Mount of alcohol injurious to children during the period when their brains are growing. You will err on the safe side if suoh things be avoided. teleran CLOTHING In this connection 6, hint may be given on the clothing of infante. They should be neither overclreeeed nor underdressed. The clothing ehetild not be so heavy as to cause disconifort nor so ligh t as to permit their a:dolling cold,. Di our Changeable climate, "".4ii4iete cool nighte often emceed warm days and sudden changes are liable tto occur in a few hours, it is diffieillt to havo the clothing alwaya right.

For this reason no disturbance of a child's digestion should be neglected. A physician should be con- sulted as soon as possible. Oak's Wife. Where did he get her? Who was her brother ?

A Curious Incident. • Some interesting information with re- ference to a very curious incident which mound during the Franco-German war 1 has just come to hand. In 1870 three French visitors established themselves at a hotel in a well known German to, where they remained several months. 113eing in want of funds and unable to pay their bill, they were compelled to leave a package which they had brought from Prance in the hands of the landlord In satisfaction of his claim. This upon examination was found to contain& sumptimuely-designed state chair The name of Napoleon was embroidered upon the silk covering of the back and seat, and, on the occupant pressing* his hands upon the finely carved gilt arms, a musical air wasplayed by an instrument concealed within the upholstery. The care of this remarkable piece of furniture seemed the , only oconpetIon of the strangers, who are supposed to have been awaiting this advance of the Prenoh army, and, in the event of its proving victorious, would doubtless have conveyed the chair to Berlin, where, it is presumed, it was to have been used as a throne shy • the Emperor Napoleon. The chair remains in possession of the widow of the Frenchmen's host. —London Times. . A Banker's Paradise. Manohooria appears to be the paradise of bankers. Our Consul in Newohwang says that it is well-known wealthy mandarinsand mer- chants, not caring for their wealth to be known, make deposits with bankers without taking receipts, and that it is a ourioua fact that rather than risk the loss of capital so deposited by its becoming known to the paternal Government, to whom probably such °IOW rightly belongs, no interest is derived from such deposits, except of course for the banker's own investments. At the death of a depositor his heir may not know that 100,- 000 tads, more or leas,mre deposited in some bank or other. From such cameo as theee, says this authority, native bankers become very rich. • •/ Nerviline. What is it ? Netviline 18 combinetion of the most s poweeful pain relieving substances known.

This thing is not simply asocial custom, but it is mixed up with them religious requirements. Religion has a very powerful hold even on the men. who are generally more or lees edu- cated, for now common schools are,through. out the ceuntry. But the women are wholly uneducated except in religious Mee and duties.

Ministers and Money. , One of the most celebrated divines in New York city is a millionaire, and the great sum of money of which he is possessed was whol- ly earned by himself. In Toronto the names of clergymen are very frequently met figur- ing as principals in real estate transfers, In these years of money worship do we not continually see ministers of the Gospel rushing along in the mad chase of the almigh- ty dollar side by side with those who sit at their fees as disciples 1 Amid the duties of their holy calling they find time to edit pap- ers, given lectures, write novels, speculate in stooks and real estate; run farms, and in various ways engage in moneyanaking pur- suits. Is not the master becoming weak when he follows his pupil's ideal?

How can he instruct his disciples not to lay u freesia .1 • • A Wonderful Offer. ll'or many years the manufaeturere of Dye Sage's Catarrh Remedy have offered, •en good faith, 8500 reward for a calle of Xasal Catarrh which they cannot euro, The Bem. edy is sold by dreggiete at only 50 cents.
