gether in regard to the debate to take
place between the two societies report,
ed at the meeting of the Lowell society
Friday that the debate would take place
on December 10th. 1t is thought. how

postponed as the time given would not
be sufficient for preparation. The Low,

tives in the debate, Miss Downey, Mr..
Sudduth and Mr.. Campbell, and the

Today with lactated food, better at
tention to proper sleep and clothing,
and more careful bathing, there are
few babies born that cannot be reared
into sturdy manhood and womanhood.
The great scourge Of infant lives is
cholera nfantum--diarrhoca and con-
vulsions. All these disorders arise
from excessive irritation of the intes-
final tract and the loss of strength
that follows diarrhoca.
Heat is but a predisposing cause Of
all these weakening diseases. With
proper food, and there is nothing so
absolutely good as lactated food, all
these dangers may be avoided. Statis-
tics show that babies thrive best on
lactated food. 1t Is worth more as a
preventive of cholera infantum than
all the medicines ever made.
Dropping, listless children fed on lac
tated food soon show every sign of bet
ter nourished bodies; they eat more
heartily, sleep with few wakings, play
with more interest, and look better.
Infants that are rundown" by the
effects of hot weather ut once begin to
mend when fed with lactated food.
Little ones who are nervous and fret
full under the heat of the summer sun,
and are with difficulty persuaded to
| take other food, eat lactated food with
| evident relish.
