I THE STARVING TREATMENT. t," ?o heartily recommend ?the' e1.avin. ? ??cnt for any digestive diStuTbances, 8Jl 'l'h ? a bilious attack, vomiting, or colic. Toh? n Pain is, in the majority of cases, due tc 0 era ting, and the uncomfc?rta?16 ?fe?elin?p ? ? a mild protest from the internal orgam tj, they have had enough of it.

I am often asked  is the best thing to give to a patient th a bad, bilious attack. I always give | jj ?, ?ame answer: the patient must have IIID 'Ing at all. It sounds uninteregting, dy may not be received with acclamation g^ seldom is—but ^^ion is the finest treatment. When ?- ? a. law ia passe d enforcin g a rca<sonab t e a reasonable '?nt of rest for digestive organs; you 'I find the correspondence columns of the ?ap,ore filled with grateful letters from ^ftiacha, livers, and other over-worked -;9; I I THE CHILDREN'S DINNER. I '?H'iug ?? morning a child ought to have uttle lunch; a glass of milk, a piece of ?ad and dripping, or some biscuits. Then ?aes dinner. There are hundreds of things I.°U can have for dinner. I shall only men- t"Ort a few. Soups made of peas, beans, or ? "Iltils, are verv nourishing. These vegetables C()nt 1 ?tain valuable bone-forming material,  they ought to be appreciated more than they arev Suet pudding with golden syrup Or Jam M a most exceHent dish. Never let  hear a mother say that her child will not ?-? the food she prepares. R makes me c "'ed to hear the mother confess that she eo"tLOt make her own child obey her, Pre- jj fe a nke meal, and if the child complaint jl^.lvill have to do the other thing. Stews 'adO with the cheaper cuts of meat and rl peas, be?ns, and lentils are highly ???inended. Milk puddings with stewed trilit And the best drink to take with your di,u ?r is water. I THE CHILD'S EYES. I «*Tjere is less risk of neglect of the eyes of | ? older children now than there used to be, ae they are nearly all inspected in the '?ools. But there is no harm in pinning JUr? i .a page of newspaper advertisements, and ying to test the power of the vision of ? children. Do not lightly say, "Oh, I gPpose he will grow out of it; besides, it is "??? day, and I cannot be bothered'with yes. j? one eye is weak, the child will not it, as he will always use the good ?' ?? he looks down the street he sees nnt? ? with his good eye alone, and does ji Valise that the other eye is not working p Try the newspaper test with a Qca ,f held over first one eye and then the  The paper must be in a good light, f, the child should stand with his back to '? ?ndow. o: DAWN OF COMMON-SENSE. I .11 a child has to wear glasses the doctor see that the lenses are correct, but the "II)tli-er mttet see that the frame of the glasses is comfortable. A child may leave off the glasses, not because the lenses are Wrong, but because the wire of the frame is not quite comfortable around the ears or ,across the bridge of the nose. A very little ^"JUstment will put it right. Whe-n you 'h ave glasses, the eyes should be examined  every two years-old glasses that have  Worn for years may be quite unsuit- ?- I do hope that an era of common- is dawning in the minds of parents. *h? old course was to punish the child for "attelltion at school. If that did not cure r she was made to go without, her dinner '18 a double punishment. Very sensible, wasn't it to rob the child of the nourish- nt it needed for its growing frame? then the child complained of a headache, t'le parents had one idea and one only, and that Was to give opening medicine. 0? the ?ri. nies that have been committed with open- ing medicine! Surely the lowest depths of nInan folly has been reached when, instead hf Providing suitable glasses to relieve the eadache that comes from eye-strain, the other gives a bottle of opening medicine. eadaches and inattention at school may be l1e. to a defect in the eyes, and it is your business as parents to find out all about it. I o: MOTHER TO BLAME. I There are schools for developing muscles, ut not enough institutions for developing jjll-power, self-control, and determination. I 'r ts of my friends give way when others t ? '?d laugh at their little troubles. Often thl- fault lies with the early training; many gOod mothers feel that their duty begins and ends with cooking a good dinner, and forget ::a children should be taught to control their tempers and to learn the meaning of obedience. It saves trouble to let the child j aYe its own way, and so tho bad seed is 8Own, A sour, discontented, grumpy-faced young woman will never have a healthy °?y. For twenty years the parents watch the child grow, and take no trouble to cor- Tect her mental habits. They give her no Uistruction, no guidance, and when things unsatisfactory, they try a bottle of Medicine and get very cross with me because the bottle even when finished right to the bottom, does not produce any material re- sult. They expect a selfish disposition and a grumpy temperament, producing head- ac hes and malaise to be dispensed like mist fore the rising sun by a bottle of mi. cine. 0: INFLAMED EYES. These few hints on the subject of inflamed cyes will be found very useful. Some cases are infectious and some are not. The in- fectious cases are accompanied by a thick yellowish discharge. You must not allow that discharge to collect at night-time when you are are, asleep; it is a bad thing when the lids get stuck together, for then the dis- haf is pent up against the eye and makes h inflammation wprse. To prevent the lids Peking, smear t. tem well at night-time With vaseline or a little boracic ointment; It will do no harm if some gets right in the eYe- Remember that this discharge is in- fectious. If some of .hat matter that comes from the eye is conveyed into the healthy eye of someone else the healthy eye will be- come inflamed in the same way. The Patient with discharging eyes must take scrupulous care to use his own special towel and sponge and handkerchief; and if the Patient is a child he must sleep alone, as the Pillow might become infected with the ?tter flowing from the cyes? I always a<lV:l8e my readers to beware of the towel ?"?Ma hung up in the common lavatory Used bY a number of people. There is not "? danger in using it for the hands aLt<Meh °? there is a real danger in wiping n?,- ?<?d eyes with such a towel. It of yvoouur f ? the safe side and take a tc I ?youjow
