sponsible neither to the property hold

Bawling Babes

There are too many youngsters who know
that they can get anything If they cry long
enough for 1t, Then there are children who
cry over anything, whether crying is justi-
fed or not. 1t is quite natural for chill
dren to magnify every disappointment and
to make huge outcry over everything
that displeases Parents should remember
this and discount large percentage of this
bawling Most adults are too easily an
noyed by child's crying. They think he
ought to control himself. and attach too
much Importance to his lack of restraint in
this regard.
or course, 1t is very probable that there
Is physical cause for the childs CRYING,
In that case. the cause should be found Out
as quickly as possible. The chances are
that normal child, say. years old or over,
with plenty of muscular activities and
games, who is healthy looking, eats and
sleeps well and otherwise good-natured
does not cry because of temper There must
be some physical reason. There must he
bodily irritation somewhere. 1t may be his
teeth. In many cases a developing tooth
will press upon some nerve or nerve centre
creating general disturbance throuphout
the body Then there may be other causes
which can be discovered on close examina-
tion.

Give Baby Wafer

I haye little boy who Is now II months old.
When born he was weak. and after three weeks
he began to pass a little blood In his diapers
Well. we called In specialist for babies and he
said our baby had stones in the bladder or gravel
IN the kidneys. but he wasn't sure. and said the
medicine, Day and night that baby cried All
winter walked the floor and sat up late at
night rocking It for hours. Always before II
wanted TO urinate II would fuss and cry and
seem to he In misery and II would take him so
long 10 urinate. The doctors, different ones
told me that L wasn't necessary to circumcise
the boy. as that was not the cause, but they
don't seem to give any relief. Now he seems to
be getting worse instead OF better. He is 80
restless that don't know II he Is In pain. He
Is q bott!e-fed baby, feeding on oatmeal Cruel
and certified milk MRS A. H.
Newly born babies often suffer from pain
In urinating, The cause is uric acid crystals
in the urine These crystals cut and tear,
and blood in the urine OCCASIONALLY results
The remedy is water. Give the baby
water to drink. If preferred, the water can
be favored with catnip and called catnip
tea, or II can be otherwise favored and
called by another name but give water
Occasionally this uric acid gravel Is fol-
lowed by stone. Sometimes the stone Is in
the urethra, occasionally in the bladder or
kidney. Possibly in this case 1t Is in the
urethra. a physician can tell you You
may have to see a specialist.
In most cases Of painful urination in
poys the trouble is with the foreskln, and
circumcision is needed.
