AFTER THE ROYAL VISIT. Aftsr exciting times the health of children requires very spesial looking after. That the child is father to the man,' physically as well &% mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful above all to see that her child has the proper nourishment to establish its constitution. A good constitution is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nhavbs Food job Inkantr and iNVALma. \ccording to tne best medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food conkins all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also be used bv persons of all ages with decided benefit. It is a bone-building, hea'th-sus taining product that cannot be tro warmly recommended and we gladly add our word' of praise to that of the numerous modical journals and experts that have recommended it, Nbavh's Food should have a prominert place in the dietary of every house where there are children or invalids.—Advt.
