A Word to the Parents.

In the midst of the widely discussed
question anent the advisability of
pushing the baby and the heated de.
bates concerning it, word of advice
seems necessary in order to protect
that long suffering little mortal from
further disastrous experiments. Ra-
tional treatment is all baby asks or re
quires, and protection from its worst
enemies, those everfond mammas who
look upon baby as a plaything, and
the fussy nurses who would think their
occupation gone il they were notinces-
sanity doing something for baby" "
Habit is all the discipline which the
tiny mortal requires during the first
twelve months of its existence in this
troublous world and if they be good,
healthful habits, dictated by common
sense, it will not be troublous world
to either mother or infant. In every
thing concerning baby's life regular
ity of habits must be insisted upon !;
from the day of its birth every atten
tion it receives should be given regu-
larry, and all care should be so system
atized as to minimize its disturbance,
! for prime factor in baby's well being
is quiet, the more undisturbed sleep
the better, and it should from the first
be unaccustomed to being taken up
Immediately when it wakens. There
must be regular hours for feeding, and
regular hours for the daily bath and
dressing regular hours for sleep, and
periods of waking naturally follow ;
and with regular attention to phvs-
iological needs there is no reason why
the few months old baby should not be
a model of perfect discipline.
Those poor babies who make night
hideous by wailing for father or mother
to walk with them were first taught to
like the motion ; and the parent who
picks the wee morsel of humanity out
of his snug nest and tosses him to the
ceiling to hear him laugh with glee,
has only himself to blame if it pleases
the baby king so well that he wishes
to play at midnight.
Recent experiments with hot water
treatment have proved that it may be
used in many infantile disorders to
great advantage. A child that refuses
to nurse or can not keep bottle food on
its stomach will take hot water greedily
and soon fall into a refreshing sleep.
The hot water carries off disturbing
elements and cleanses thoroughly the
digestive organs, in such cases being a
stimulant, an antiseptic, a sedative
and food. From "Sanitarian," in
Demorest's Magazine for April.

Perhaps you would not think 80, but
a very large proportion of diseases in
New York comes from carelessness
about catching celd," says DIR. Cyrus
Edison. ut is such simple thing and
so common that very few people, un-
less it is case of pneumonia, pay any
attention to cold. New York is one
of the healthiest places on the Atlantic
Coast and yet there are u great many
cases of catarrh and consumption which
have their origin in this neglect of the
simplest precaution of every day life.
The most sensible advice is, when you
have one get rid of it as soon as posi-
bic. BY all means do not neglect it. )"
DR.. Edison does not tell you how to cure
a cold but we will. Take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t will relieve the
