UNDER NOURISHED CHILDREN The common affections of infancy, such as are associated with teething, skin diseases, worms, are often the principal factor causing difficulties in infant feeding and also the lack of appetite, loss of weight and upsei digestion of the older children. The baby fails to gain weight, sleeps badly, is cross and irritable, and even the most skilful adjustments of diet fail to bring about an improvement where the underlying cause of the difficulty is neglected. The Klexema treatment for all skin diseases has been established throughout New Zealand for 2S years now and its record for the successful management of the skin troubles of infancy alone now runs into thousands of cures.

Klexeina Rooms arc staffed by fully trained nurses with special experience in the management of skin diseases. Patients are given individual attention and receive the assurance that the management of their'ease is in skilled hands. Any skin irritation, baby eczema, can be instantly relieved and conquered. Klexema Rooms are at Bank of N.S.W. Bldgs., Gladstone Road, Gisborne. Rhone 369.*
