til it is ten months old, with the ad-
dition of water and possibly fruit

one persuade YOU otherwise. When tho
child nurses only once or twice in
t~wenty-four hours the milk is not
worth feeding.
In weaving. take a month. one
week substitute one feeding with ar
titiciai food; Mex week, two third
week, three. and the fourth week drop
the natural food entirely. A nursing
mother should have a good, all-'round
diet and nevcr should confne herself
20 a few things. A child should never
be allowed to keep something in it's
stomach all the time. Therefore, II the
mother does not feed 1t regularly she
might as Well understand she is going
to sooner or later have a sick baby.

the most difficult forms of food Tor
