WHEN BABY HAS THE collie.
Give Him Soda Mint; 1t Will Relieve
Almost Instantly.

Humorous illusions to "colicky ba-
bies" are never fully appreciated until
the condition is observed in each in
dividuars own offspring. and then
somehow the humorous side is gone,
for of all notwithstanding ailments,
colie takes the lead.
Overlooking is prolific cause and
very often by reducing the food sup
ply the ailment disappears OF itself.
But some qualities of the milk Will
produce collie, so that it is as well to
have cure ready. 1t nearly always
comes at tight, but cannot be timed
invariably, for il the mother or nurse
count on couple OF hours rest
through the day, it is Just as likely to
arrive then. Total depravity can be
applied to collie as well as other
things.
The symptoms are sudden piercing
cries and contraction Of the legs. Some
attacks are very severe, while others
are mid. Catnip tea and paregoric
the remedies Of our grandmothers, are
of little use, for they only Soothe
without expelling the wind which
causes the disturbance. Drops and
cordials are useless for the same rea-
SON Peppermint was about the only
thing then used, which removed the
cause, and that was made to stupeiy
by adding laudanum.
The remedy now in vogue with uni.
formly good results is soda mint. rhe
tablets are sold extensively for indi-
gestion, but liquid form is the best
for babies. Get ten per cont solu-
ton, and for a child up to month
old take one-half spoonful Of mint
to three of warm water slightly sweet
ened. Increase the dose with age.
The effect of this simple remedy
in most case is almost magical. The
wind is thrown off in an incredibly
short time and the after effect is to
soothe the nerves, so that sleep comes
swiftly in its train. There is nothing
diliterious in its composition, for the
sole ingredients are bicarbonate of
soda. and ammonia. Enough water
must be added to kill the taste of the
soda, which is very disagreeable. Hot
applications to the stomach are of first
