TALKS WITH moTHERs.-No. 3.

dAPPf BABY HOOD.
Every mother wants her baby to thrive.
because a healthy child is happy child.
The question of how the baby shall be fed
is demanding the attention, as never before,
not only of the mothers in the land, but of
the entire medical profession also, because
it is now realized how much the health of a
child can be Influenced by proper nutrition
during the years of babyhood. AS the re-
suit of the improper feeding of the infant,
the vitality of the child is impaired, and he
grows up weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being SO generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for a sub
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims are
made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist,
ras the first to discover and combine the
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
fetal food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding of infants commenced.
Mellin's Food is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and it has done more to
make babies strong and healthy than any,
thing else that has ever been invented.
Mell1n's Food possesses all the requisite
heat and flesh producing and bone-forming
constituents necessary to give child
ceedingly fond of it and thrive upon it when
nothing else can be retained upon the
stomach. If they have been weak, fretful
and troublesome they become happy,
healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy
cneeKs, firm muscles and strong cOnsti-
tuition are the inevitable results of using
hais snis excellent b; preparation: Mellin's Food
