How-LEGs AND KNOCK-KNEEs.

For the benefit of all who wish their
children to have straight limbs, we will
state that a celebrated physician attributes
bOw-legs to habit some youngsters de-
light in of rubbing the sole of one foot
against that of the other; some will go to
sleep with the soles pressed together.
They appear to enjoy the contact only
when the feet are naked; they don't at
tempt to make it when they are socked
or slippered. So the remedy is obvious,
keep the baby's soles covered. Knock
knees is ascribed to a different childish
habit, that of sleeping on the side, with
one kee tucked into the hollow behind the
other. 1t has been found that where
one leg has been bowed inward more
than the other, the patient has always
slept on one side, and the uppermost
member has been the most deformed
Here the preventive is to pad the inside
of the knees so as to keep them apart,
and let the limbs grow freely their own
way.
