Every mother has bright hopes for her baby.
These hopes depend on the health of the little
one during the FIRST few years. A baby is sure
to be well, fat and healthy if its health is looked
after. Baby's health depends on its getting
through the teething period safely. Babies are
generally affected with diarrhoea summer com.

by using McGee's Baby Elixir to digest its food
and prevent its food from souring on its stomach.

poisons, or other harmful ingredients. It Is
especially suited to sick and we'll babies. Great

the pictures so tastefully hung,
each telling its story, not only of
face or scene portrayed, but of pre-
cious associations, of far-lands Wis
tied, of sweet home-memories; the
open piano across one corner; the
ornaments on the mantel-delicate
vases of dainty flowers, reflected in
the mirror; the rich, soft colors of
the rugs; bits of old-fashioned furni-
ture, and newer easy-chairs scat
tered here and there; books and mag
azines on tables and shelves-all
combining to make a beautiful room,

a subtle something, of individuality
and love of beauty, made all har-

pleasing to her sight, in harmony

CARDIAC PHYSIOLOGY.
The Heart May Properly he Regarded
a. an Intricate Hydraulic
Apparatus.

Everybody knows that the heart is
hollow muscle, situated in the breast,
between the lungs and placed in the
center of pocket known as the peri
cardium. Formed of two equal halves
back to back and joined one to the
other, it may be roughly described as
cone, the summit of which is the point
of the heart, says the European edition
Of the New York Herald. 8 Between the
base Of the cone and it's summit is
transverse strangulation, which sep
arates the halves into two parts,
distinct, but communicating by the
falling of a valve. The cavity nearest
the base is known as the auricle, the
other the ventricle
The black Of venous blood flows
from all parts of the heart on to the
right auricle, depresses the valve and
passes into the ventricle on the same
side, whence it is driven out and con-
veyed to the lungs by the pulmonary
artery. From the lung. where it is
revivified and becomes scarlet, the blood
passes into the left auricle; thence to
the corresponding ventricle; then, rails
ing the mitral valve, it goes into the
aortic artery, whence it is projected all
through the system until its vital prop
critics are exhausted; it then flows
back through the veins into the right
side of the heart
Thus, by its repeated contractions, the
heart constantly drives the blood. And
this organ works without ever stop
ping. 1t begins its labor long before
birth, and only stops at death. 1t
acts like pump, but pump the piston
Of which is replaced by contraction
of the walls. These, drawing nearer
together, drive the fluid with which they
are filled with a perfection which our
apparatus with it's rigid walls initiates
by means Of piston, but cannot
equal
The human heart, then, is practically
a pump 15cm. in height by 1Ocm. wide.
1t works on an average, 70 times min
lite, 1920 times an hour, 100000 times
per day, 36,792 900 times a year, and
ISIS, 440 900 times in 70 years!
AT each beat it projects 100 grammes
OF blood into the system; seven liters
minute, APO an hour, or ten tons
day. All the blood in the body,
which weighs about % pounds, passes
through the heart every two or thres
minutes So that this little organ
exercises every day a force sufficient
to raise 46 tons a meter high.
During the 20 years of the life of
4 man this marvellous small pump,
without moment of respite by day or
by night, sends out the enormous
mass of over 100000 cubic meters Of
blood
