GLAXO BUILDS BONNIE BABIES.

Glaxo is used the world over in the principal hospitals for children, and is recommended by leading doctors. Write to “Glaxo,” Dept. 20, Palmerston North, for a free copy of the Glaxo Baby Book containing 72 pages of advice on infant feeding mnd on the care and training of the child.

common the idea is among mothers that all babies must get Thrush sooner or later. A mother often says to me, when her baby's mouth is white and sore: ‘Well, as he must get Thrush sometime, tho sooner it is over tho better.” Thrush ought to be rarely, almost never, soon. It is liable to ho very painful, always upsets the appetite, interferes with digestion more or less, and often it paves tho way for infantile diarrhoea, etc. Thrush should never be neglected; it needs prompt, careful, and systematic attention, and should be stamped out as soon as possible. If white patches appear in tho mouth or throat, a doctor should bo called in : this is not simply because Thrush is a disease, and needs proper treatment, but because what the mother takes to be Thrush may tun, out to be Diphtheria This mistake has sometimes been made, with fatal results —• delay in treating Diphtheria- often means death. It has come to the knowledge of “Hygeia” tha'i njany readers of this column are being misled- by the proximity of the “Glaxo” advertisement to the column, and think that the Society approves of “Glaxo” as a food for babies. The -Society makes no distinction between “Glaxo” and any other patent foods. The Society recommends no patent food whatever.
