Baby's Food.

The high mortality of infants Zone
out of three) is due very largely to
the fact that the baby cannot select
its own food, as does the adult, but
must take what is given it. Often the
food is inferior in quality. or even
positively poisonius.
How can the mother tell whether
the baby's food is right?
One way is to watch the actions,
If they are regular and natural and
the baby is gaining in weight, the
food is all right. Constipation and
diaIThoea both indicate indigestion
and should have immediate atten-
ton.
To correct indigestion and regu-
late the stomach and bowels the baby
specialists have perfected a gentle
laxative and regulator called "Baby
Ease" laxative. which the mother
may obtain, with full directions, at
any drug store. "Baby Ease" is an
invaluable aid to the baby's health,
and no mother should be without it
for emergencies.
Do not use the strong and irritat-
ing laxatives such as are commonly
used, nor anything containing opiates
or powerful drugs. They irritate the
delicate organs and lead to chronic
indigestion and constipation. "Baby
Ease" laxative is a corrective and
regulator as well as a gentle laxa-
tive, and will promptly and perma-
nently correct indigestion, collie,
diarrhoea and constipation. The
mother should then look carefully
to the purity, freshness and whole
someness of the baby's food, the
cleanliness of the bottles. ETC., and
should consult the physician if the
child does not steadily gain in weight.
