EARLY REIMBURSEMENT OF INTERFERENCE HABIT

A baby is a finely adjusted piece of machin,
 cry. not weak, but perfectly coorolna'ea that, like fine watch, it is easily put out ol | order. , ., ,o+;,,a | The first dose of castor oil or other laxatlve or physic you give baby is a matter or tre. mendous importance which demands the pest Judgment of 8 physician. But, shucKs, Who would submit such a question to the doctor! Babies are not worth so much consideratlon Any old woman will do to consult about sucn a thing It is much the same as though you were contemplating trying your emedy on the dog baby in some households IS no pet,er

 The second and third dose of physc are worse than the first. A fairly healthy papy might get over the first dose all right anu SUI
 fer lasting injury But when you toaiow ,, ;n rp your attack, blow upon blow, almost any m, fant will succumb and thereafter the 1nlernal machinery will require pretty regular casto, oilng else it won't work to sult the oiu women of the neighborhood at all And surely you would not have baby around the place that doesn't conform to the whims soI the neighborhood busybodies. would you' ounio ones? ;, -- The first dose merely disrupts or temporarily upsets coordination.

That ls, tne ar mentary function soon becomes oepenoehi; upon the dose of physic just as an amman rms after a certain number of repetitions, to come to feed at the sound Of Deil or. your call. Just how many doses of castor OH or other laxative it is necessary to give Tn oroef to establish the physc habit l need not es' innate. Why establish the habit?
 In infant or adult there is never any serious use of any and all physics. laxatives or artih- cial aids to bowel action In the morbid 1ancy
 of those thoroughly misnformed by quacks and nostrum mongers, there is grave danger in going without the customary physic In ac- tual fact no such i'll consequences develop. Would I dare to be so positive and arbitrary about this if any reputable physlclan couio Fe- flute my teaching? A contributing factor of the constipation habit in infancy is inadequate feeding-too weak a modified milk formula, and failure 10 kadd to the ordinary milk ration suitable ra-
 ton of fresh fruit juice, cod liver oil, ana ln

 as ripe banana, scraped beef, chicken or mutt

 The right name for constipation in almost all cases is interference habt for if the natural
 automatic regulation of the bowel function were not interfered with there would De no such trouble to worry about.
 The best advice l can give any parent Wno contemplates giving baby physic is. DON'T.
