AFTER THE BOYAL VISIT. Aftsr exciting times the health of children requires very spe3ial looking after. That the child is father to the man,' physically as well a' mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insioted 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 constituiion is a rock on which alone success and strength can ba built. Among the various foods that science oommends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nhaves Food fob InjfvHTß and Invalids. According to trie test medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food contains all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also be used by persons of all ages with decided benefit. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannot he top warmly recommended and we gladly add our words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it Nisavh's Kood should have a prominent place in the dietary of every honse where there are children or invalids.—Advt.
