AFTEU THE EOYAL VISII. | Aftwr exciting times the health of children! requires very special looking after. That 'the child is father to the man,' phy-ically j as well a mentaby, is one of those truths ; tliat can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful, above all to sea that her child has the proper j nourishment t> st *bli>h its constitution.: A good constitution i a rock on which alone. success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science comnends I in these days for this purpose, nonn holds a higher place than Nbavk's Food for In- 1 F>KTB ano Invalids. Vccordiog to tnel test medical testimony, and, what is perhnps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food contains all the! u! al 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 be t-o warmly recommended and we gladly add oar words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it, Nbavk'S Food should have a prominent place in the .dietary of every house where there are children or invalids. —Advt. To Prevent Obottp, begin in time. Ihe first symptom is hoirseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recngnised and will never b3 forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first beconaes hoarse. If Ohamberlaiu's floTi.h Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will f>ooa disappear, Even after tin croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There is no dhnger in giving this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It always cureand cares quickly. New Plymouth 00-op-<;ralive Society sel's it Piice 's 6d; big aize, 3s.—Advt.
