The spine is another little defornity'
which. If taken IN time-that IS, at ths
very first symptoms. may be prevented
from developing into a lifelong and TAI
durable deformity. The first sy1nptoEi
generally complained Of IS pain IN thI
back
Never neglect such a complaint froul
a child. Examine the spine bone cared
fully. If there is any deviation from tild
stralghtness that the spine ought u
have you may be sure there is sorns
thing wrong, and you should az once
show the child TO surgeon
II you are not absolutely sure thai
the spine Is curved, let the child rest

If the pain mas been caused by 2
strain or anything of that kind, rest
and warmth viii cure it, but If the child
still complains OF pain. Il Is hardly
necessary to say that a doctor should
at once be consulted, because, as soma
curvatares are due to diseased bones
the only chance Of preventing deformitys
is prompt treatment
Prominent ears are often caused 81

This is thing that should be care
fully guarded against, and you should
also be careful that babies and young
children do not lie with the ears cruns-
