Let the Babies Cry.

That babies ought to cry occasion
ally, is a fact well known to doctors;
but one which seems to be very much
against the creed Of mothers and nur-
ses. The model babies who never cry
are unnatural specimens. Crying is
the only exercise a. young baby gets;
it expands the lungs, causes better
circulation of the blood, and helps on
muscular growth. Of course, fretting
when there is discomfort is to be
promptly attended to, and screaming
(Which might cause RUPTURE must not
be allowed; but really healthy little
cry, when nothing particular is the
matter, save the baby needs that mode
of expression for it's pent-up feelings
this is not a thing to make every
body run and try to divert the little
ones attention or to stop him or get
out of the way as if there was fire or
a runaway locomotive coming.

were once assured that it was harm.
less pastime for baby, most of us could
reconcile ourselves to it once in g
while. Not at night. If there is ono
lesson more important than another, il
is that darkness and stiffness 60 to-
gether. But although the idea may
be novel one, there is something tt
be said in favor of little babies being
allowed small crying spell-that is
an exercise spell-during the day
purely upon the grounds of health.
