The injustice often shown By parents in
similar cases TO elder children, especially II
those children be daughters. is q matter of
surprise and indignation when it il rightly
considered. The old doctrine tba. tbs prin-
cipel obligation between parents and chill
cren was upon the children is happily nearly
exploded. The days when parents could

owed their existence to than are
gone by. On the contrary. society is

Tie age by which parents can control aud

To prevent such injustice should be the e.

Tie great object OF the nervous should be,

suIedly followed by slight dyspepsia

peevishness and irritabllity. The food should
rot be sloppy, and too much liquid shsuld
be avoided. No work should be done Tor
half an hour after eating. Breakfast should
be early, dinner in the middle OF the day,
and supper three hours at least bsf1re going

eaten short time before retiring. Perfect

an empty stomach is generally followed by
