and out of his head freonenty At
various times three different physicians
visited him; and each one told his
friends he couldnot I've. He finally got So
low that death was only considered mater
Of few days. At that critical tine his
elder bro hers, aroused almost to the pitch OF
desperation by the three deaths that bal 50
recently occurred, and the other one staring
them IN the face, resolved TO take Tie case
into their own hands. They Accordingly

counteracted by unknown care essness in

INSTRUCTED They should have known
that children are just as liable to kidney
and liver diseases rs grown IN REQ
pie; and that the fatality of Bright's disease
of the kidneys is Just as great among little
children rs with adults. This is q serious
subject. Hereditary traits the after cnse
quonces of measles and scarlet fever dph-
liberia and the passing troubles which so
easily become chronic, all demand the
greatest caro- and caution. No case Of cholera
infantum, measles, scarletina, or diphheTia
was ever yirulent while the child's kidneys
and liver were healthy. 1t would simply be
an impossibility. These important ogans
OF the body are just forming within the
child and growing with its growth alithey
can be trained to strength and heath as
readily as the little mind can be FRAMED to
truth and uprightness.
The Importance of carefully watehEthe
slightest troubles of the child, and es paally
those affecting the kidneys and liver, anot
be too strongly emphasized. ChIldu re

deprive them of one at the risk of hcanc
the other. BY judicious treatmefthe e
essential organs can be developed scnt a
strong constitution, able TO resist The lrads
