HOw the Infant Should Be Fed

trouble the baby should be put on
cows milk.
The mother should be prepared
FOR nursing long before the baby
is born. The later stages OF he"
pregnancy must be made as
healthy as possible both for her
body and her mind. She should
be kept free from anxiety as well
as from excitement. Toward the
end of pregnancy her nipples
should be hardened by means OF
hot boric acid solution AMI
Slycerised tannin. and stimulated
by gentle massage and traction
with the fingers.
Remember that you, any
mother, under normal conditions
is more likely to be happy having
her confinement at home than in
a hospital, if it is possible to 1r-
range this. When she has fully
recovered from the shock of birth
it is better that she should have
the infant in her room than thai
it should go to the nursery, for it
will occupy her mind and divert
it from the numerous physical or
mental disturbances Of the lying-in
period.
She should return with reason
able speed to substantial ordi-
nary diet.
Mothers milk is not improved
by slush.
The baby should first be PIT
to the breast about II hours after
birth, and have a few ounces of
water, with or without a pinch of
cane sugar, every four hours. 1t
should nurse on one breast only
for 10 minutes at a time every

ances in the mother. It is quite
probable that much of the gall
bladder trouble that follows child
birth comes from this overfeed-
ing.
Another common error, espe-
cially in hospital, is the enforce
ment Of a prepos0erous standing
rule: the baby is put on the
breast by the clock every three
or four hours, day and night. for
exactly 20 minutes at a time,
with no regard for its own re-
quiremeuts or the comfort Of it's
mother. This "red-tape" gives
the mother cracked nipples and

the baby dyspepsia, insomnia. and

Cure of TB By

HlHE present treatment Of pull
u monary tuberculosis is based
on three things: fresh air, proper
food and rest, the greatest being
rest, says DR.. z. A. Gray in
Hygeia for August. However.
the main point in the treatment
IL the patients ability to stick,
70 be faithful to the job.
The lungs may be rested by
going to bed and staying there,
which gives thelungs the least
possible amount of work to do.
One lung may be rested by sur
Eical procedure or by a treatment
known as artificial pneumothorax
BY either of these methods, the
diseased lung is collapsed or
closed down on itself so that the
poison in it cannot escape into
the system in such large quaint
ties.
Patients are no longer fattened
or exposed to all the elements on
