MIXED DIET NECESSARY.
Children are prone TO take fancies about ,0o,
Here are some suggestions about dealing with ,bsr-.
Every year 1 am called upon to treat cases !,
loss Of appetite in runabouts' from elgbt.sD
months 10 three years OF age. who have what
have designated the milk habit These chlsrsn
drink from five TO six pnts Of milk a dav and
refuse all other food. The milk satisfies m. a.
petite. but does not furnish the nourishrnent re-
Quired for the rapid growth that takes olac. a,
this time. and the child in consequences suffer,
from malnutritiOn- He is pale thin and salow in
appearance; the sleep Is poor and the child Z,
irritable and hard TO please We also see children
at this age who suffer from improper nutrition on
account OF too restricted diet They take other
food than milk. but not in sufficient quantity Or
variety Some viii refuse all kinds Of vegetables
others will refuse ali kinds but one or two; sons
will not take stewed fruit: Others will not touch
meat eggs. matter how they may % pre-
pared; some Will take but cereal and Others
will refuse cereals altogether. The ehilds whins IN
these respects must never be catered TO. Hsbto
take what is placed before him or go without Until
the next meal Likes and disikes FOR various
articles OF diet are largely a matter Of education
and the child may and should be taught to
everything that Is good for him. A little hrmnsss
In compelling him to go hungry for few hours
will soon Go away with any childish fancy, which
may be the cause Of considerable harm. Thess
children rapidly growing and for proper
growth and development require mixed diet
the child is welded % milk and refuses everything
else. the milk must be temporarily discontinued
Some children with a poor appetite for solids VIII
drink a glass or two OF milk at the commencement
OF a meal This satisfies the appetite Tor ths
time. and nothing more viii be taken. With snca
children the milk must be kept out Of sight un'ii
the meal IS completed. when One-haf pint maj
be given"
