The habits of the child .should be regulated early. As
the child grows older, it should not sleep, so much in.
the day time, but the sleep at night should be the same.
As the mother is the principal doctor for her child,
she should pay attention to its food. Naturally children
prefer cakes and Candies to soup and bread. They
should be fed regularlyn and at a certain hour. Never
give a child any spiced food, nor too much sugar; the
food should contain more salt than sugar. Children
shold be taught to use a spoon in . the right hand, and
the fork in left, the bread to be taken in the right hand.
A knife should never be given to a child before the age
of 6 or 7 years. The mother should pay great attention
to the physical education of the child, and table hygiene.
A well bred child or children will always give a good
deal of pleasure to the parents. The celebrated French
writer J. J. Rousseau says of children: If a mothes
wishes to sbeil her children, let her give them every¬
thing they ask for, and then it is the mother who will
suffer afterwards.
/POISONING (Empoisonnement)
Ptomaine poisoning is caused frequently by mussels,
oysters* crabs, fish, pork, and ice cream; and very often
mushrooms.
First: Take awTay promptly the poison.
Second: To take the poison out of the system give
the patient a vomitif, 130 grains of ipecacuanha in a
glass of water. For piirgatif 1 tablespoonful of magne¬
sia in a glass of water with a little sugar. Give an
enema, 1%: quarts of warm water and 2 tablspoonsful
of kitchen salt. If the person does not die immediately
from poisoning,5 then life can be saved with this remedy.
If you have not any of these medecines in the house
give the patient milk with the white of eggs to drink
and an anemea with warm water and salt.
INDIGESTION (Indigestion)
Indigestion is Caused by food not being well prepared,
but sometimes by having taken cold, or by some great
moral suffering, in cases of indigestion, take camomille

HYGIENE
tea, flavored with orange water. If this method does
not stop the indigestion take a vomitif.
INTOXICATION (Ivresse)
It is said that to prevent intoxication, take a quarter
of a glass of pure olive oil or sweet almond oil, be¬
fore eating. , The best method of all is to drink moder¬
ately,, but. sometimes it depends upon the disposition of
the stomach, and one glass of champagne .. might
intoxicate. . Black coffee and a few drops of
ammonia in Seltzer aids intoxication, as it arouses
the nervous system. Give the following: water
4 ounces, essence of peppermint y2 ounce, liquid am¬
monia 12 drops. Mix, and give every quarter of an
hour, two or three times ; or sugar and water with a few
drops of ammonia, or Bromo Seltzer.
THE DIGESTION (La Digestion)
.Fortunately for the civilization of today, we have fire
to cook our food. The advance made in culinary art
has transformed everything.
It is to this science that civilization owes its re¬
gulated meals, which is the regime of good digestion.
Medical science has classified certain aliments, by its
degree of digestibility, comparing the human body to
a wheel, which the fonctionment accepts and refuses*
certain matters. Think well ,and you will digest well.
