His fastidious nature was sorely

his park around all over, and the clean
Illness and trimness had vanished, not

The fearful number OF infant deaths
this month, especially from cholera
iniantum. is due to the Ignorance Of
well-meaning mothers.
Improper food Is the cause OF nine.
tonths of all the infant mortality.
Mothers milk, when healthy and
sufficient. Is the Ideal infant food, and
IL will never DO surpassed.
But when in the first year OF baby's
life recourse must be had to other
food, or when tho time comes for
Iweaning the child, lactated food
should be given In preference to any.
