EEOic1NE FOR CHILDREN.
Many Drastic Doses a.
Formerly.

There has been an immense I'M
eroyement for the better in the dies
%of little children in the last genera
,3iOn, and the use of powerful sooth-
sng syrups and other nostrums, which
Was once so common, is becoming "a
Thing of the past, says the New York
Tribune. The mother who admins
fers without a physicians preserip-
zion such an anodyne as paregoric or
'camphorated tiHcture of opium now
certainly conceais the practice. For
nerIy numberleSs children fell Vie
Sinns to the ignorance Of their moth
IRIS. If paregoric had been or was
now sold as camphorated tincture of
opium, few mothers would ever have
used it, and no mother who is not
grossly ignorant would use it to-day
without the doctors order. If 1T were
rlearly stated that In some syrups
their special quality was due to y
form of opium or morphine, they
would be avoided; but this is nos
done. As rule, il is best to give lit
lie children as little medicine Of anv
kind as possible. 1t is more dan
gerous to administer medicine to lit
tie children than to grown peOple
whose systems are not so delicate and
who cannot be injured so easily. The
medicine given TO babes should be
administered under the direction of 8
physician. For the benefit of some
who stin seem to think that the prac-
tice of administering soothing medi-
zines to helpless babies is a haEnless
ane. the following. taken fro an
authority on the subject of care
of children" is given:
I. The brains of children re vert
susceptible to such impressi rs, and
are naturally prone to infaIA nation
and congestion.
= Opium in all its forms greatly in
Sreases the tendency of these grave
disorders. which cause the death of
the majority of children.
3 The smallest dose will sometimes
rause fatal depressions. and the fire.
auent use of such drugs will result
tn a state of chronic engagement OF
The blood vessels of the brain, which
from the slightest cause will give rise
10 commissions, dropsy of the brain,
or some other no less fatal disease.
4. The brain is the fountain and
handspring of life, and if it is disor-
dered the whole vital machinery is de-
ranged and out Of gear; and there
fore it is just es impossible for the
human machine to perform its func-
lions as it is for watch to rufAEhen
The handspring is out of order.
5. 0piates derange the stomach.
which is regulated by the brain and
nerves. and thus the healthful sup,
plies absolutely necessary for the
growth and health of the child are
cut off
g. Through the same influences the
action of the heart is interfered with.
and thus are all healthful supplies of
blood to the system interrupted.
Z. The breathing becomes slow and
zaboriOus and the blood is not purified
IN the lungs.

Food Plants.

A wonderful reserve fund for the hu-
man appetite is to be found in the veg
etable diet of the klamath Indians. A
novel variety Of food, forming a menu
unknown to the civilized, is offered in
the pulp of the great yellow water lily,
which is converted into a farinaceous
food; in the weed known as goosefoot,
which bears black seed that is ground
up for loaves and cakes, and in the ar
rowhead, which in the fall develops a
starchy white tuber at the end Of the
roots. -.
