they are sweets adulterated with things

some one suggested that we try a candy

but many children are kept sick and
fretful. especially with stomach and

sweets. Sugar causes an excessive
flow of mucus, and brings on catarrh

are very young; and it is a most obsti-

into sugar, and in this way they will
be furnished with all the sweets their
