Babyhood . d in them increased delightand renewed strength for lifesbattles? It is a safe rule to fol-low in childrens reading that nobook is worth their perusal at anytime that will not always hold someinspiration for them. How many of BABYHOOD. 257 us would have had time to becomefamiliar with what is classic in fictionif we had not done so as children? A mother of my acquaintance,says the writer in the Times, whohas an excellent library in openshelves reaching the floor, foundthat her son from his earliest babydays loved to turn the pages of booksand was remarkably careful withthem. Without any theories on the subject, she allowed him to look overwhatever he could reach. His fa-vorites were, of course, all illustratedvolumes, and these he brought to herwith innumerable questions. Now,at four years of age, he is familiarwith every picture in the books hehas been playing with, and as theyare all classics I feel that he is insome measure an educated little fel-low, though he has never been form-. incorporated with it than is possible with an insoluble substance. With Mellins Food, when it is mixed with milk, as it always should be, everydrop of milk and every particle of casein in that milk contains its proportion ofMellins Food. Now then, Mellins Food being very easy of digestion, and atthe same time acting as a stimulant for the secretions of the stomach, actually assistsin the digestion of the milk. This is the explanation of the fact that babies cantake Mellins Food and milk who cannot take milk alone. I am sending yon a picture of our baby Gertrude E. Landy, taken at the age of three she was four weeks old I was obliged to give her artificial food. I tried milk and otherthings, but nothing seemed to agree with her until I tried Mellins Food with her milk, and I do nothave any more trouble. At birth she weighed six pounds, now at four months she weighs thirteenpounds, and every one remarks what a bright, healthy baby she is, I can heartily recommendM
