first and no solid food until normal
conditions are restored.
If the mother finds that she cannot
control this vomiting, say in eight or
ten hours, she should send for the fam
lily physician. 1t may be a symptom
of some acute illness, like meales,
pneumonia, scarlet fever, etc.
Diarrhoea, especially when the baby
is teething, strikes terror to the ma
ternal heart.
Treatment must be prompt and firm.
All food must be stopped at once, and
cathartic must be given Immediately.
Castor-oil is the safest and most sooth-
ing cathartic for young children. Up
to six months, the dose is a teaspoon
full of oil. After that a tablespoonful
may be administered with good re-
suits. If the small stomach will not
retain the oil, give calomel in the
same dose prescribed for vomiting.
This treatment will suffice until doc
tor is summoned. Sometimes it
proves SO efficacious that a physician
is not required.
But better far than curing diarrhoea
! is preventing it.
1t is generally caused by unclean
milk and wrong food. Keep the milk

No. 12.-Nursery Emergencies And
How to Meet Them.

How to Meet Them.
The most common emergency in the
nursery is vomiting. To the shame
of many mothers, this is recurrent
emergency. The child is relieved, but
not cured. The cause is not sought
and removed.
Vomiting means an error in diet,
acute or chronic. Sometimes child
has overloaded it's stomach without
the knowledge or consent Of che pa
rents. Again these recurrent "stom-
ach attacks" are due TO regular diet
which does not agree with the child.
In the latter case, the vomiting must
first be treated, and then the diet must
be changed.
When the vomiting starts, all food
must be stopped, bottle food, breast
milk and even water, until the attack
is. over. One of two cathartics should
be given, castor-oil or calomel. Gallo
mel is more apt to be retained. The
dose is one-tenth of one-fourth of a
grain at intervals of half an hour I'M
til one grain has been given to a
baby, two grains to an older child. If
the child is old enough to drink from
a cup, a solution of baking-soda, one
teaspoonful to glass of water, should
be slipped at intervals. No food should
be given until the vomiting has ceased,
and water can be retained.
Then the nursing baby should be
given the breast for considerably less
than the usual time, so that the stom-
ach shall not be overloaded. The bot
tie baby should have its milk or food
weakened by more than the usual
amount of boiled water or barley wa
ter. The child old enough to eat solid
food should be given only few table
spoonfuls of clear broth or bouillon al

One of the common emergencies of
childhood is the burn. know of
nothing which will make a child cry
more terrifyingly or give the mother
more alarm than a burn, whether from
actual flame or from steam, or boiling
water. Too much care cannot be
taken to ward off this emergency
Hot water should not be left standing
around where a child can tumble or
dip into it. Lamps, candles, etc.,
should be placed beyond his reach.
Matches should never be left where he
can strike them. However, careful as
the mother may be, children will burn
themselves, and a mother should be
prepared for the emergency.
Keep on hand gauze bandages il

1.-THE Healthy Baby"
When the baby has a fall this may
! or may not attain the dignity of a
nursery emergency. A child can es-
cape real injury in what may first
appear to the mother as very bad
fall. The effect of fall most to be
dreaded is injury to the spine or the
brain. | recall one particular case
where a child was dropped by its
nurse and made very little cutlery. In
fact it became listless, dull and
apathetic. 1t dozed off and on for
twenty-four hours and then suddenly
the mother discovered that the child
had lost the use of it's legs. The blow
to the spine had caused paralysis.
When the child strikes the head II
falling and develops listlessness and
drowsiness or makes no outcry, does
rot even talk, the mother should have
it examined by physician ever

The noon sun Of tournament day

canvass-topped country wagons drawn
by shaggy-hoofed horses and set with
chairs that had bumped and POSTED

bacco plantations and stud-farm: sober,
Undiscovered buggies, long narrow,
bar runabouts and antique shays re-
surrected from the primeval depths Of
cobwebbed stables, relics of furnished
grandeur and faded fortune. Here and
there motor crept, a bilious and re-
plete beetle among instcts of wider
wing. Knots Of high-booted men con-
versed on street corners, men hand
cuffed, it would seem, to their whips;
children romped and ran hither and
thither; and through all sifted a vari-
colored stream of negroes, male and
female, good-natured and voluble.
