rules will be of little efficiency with
out the rigid observance of this fun

When the baby cries Gas some ba-
bies are prone to do before taking our
special course of training) if you are
its father. give it to its mother if
you are its mother, give it to its
grandmother. That's what grand
mothers are for-and they got a lot
of practice on you.
To stop baby from fussing, pinch
it on the lower left leg. That will
make it cry.
When the baby has the stomach
ache. pat it on the other side. In
crease the dose until the desired re-
suit is attained. Soothing syrup in
doses of about a quart and half will
also be found beneficial. The removal
of a safety pin from the baby's cpl
dermis will often effect a complete
and immediate cure.

with the sounds and the words they
are meant for and you will find a
great aid in understanding baby pratt
