PEEVISHNESS.
Irritable children need not bfc taken too •eriously, provided tlie irritability is not constant. Continued fractiousness, however, is a sign that something is wrong with the health. Every child has his mompnts of peevishness, as have grown-ups, but the child's temper is more easily disturbed than that of his parents. Small causes/for example, a little upset in digestion, may temporarily unbalance him. His power of control is not well ! developed, and if he does not feel well everybody knows all about it. What is true for him is also true_ for the grown-ups. Increasing irritability should always be investigated by a doctor, because thpje are many diseases which give rise to this distressing Symptom.
