HOW TO TREAT AILING BABIES.
Mothers living in the back blocks beyond the reach of doctors and nurses often write asking for guidance in dealing with babies who are not thriving or who are suffering from minor aif ments. One may remark by the way that most of the diseases which lead to death in babyhood or to chronic debility extending into later life grow insensibly out of "failing to thrive," "not being a good doer," or are the outcome of so-called "minor ailments," such as wind, colic, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea, trouble in making water, irritations or eruptions of skin, sore eyes, colds, coughs, sore throat, swollen glands, nervousness, peevishness, irritability, loss of sleep, etc. Each of these conditions appear to the mother to be more or less of a separate entity to be treated with some specific local application or internal remedy and she will probably have been largely confirmed in this view by finding on turning to her "Mother's Guide ' a distinct line of treatment, including physic, laid down for each ailment.
