What are the symptoms? Pallor and languor, a fickle appetite, dark rings under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very often the b efforts of the family physician fail in such cases and the condition of the child causes the most intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil, sooiten prescribed, generally fails because the weak stomach is unable to digest fats. Try this treatment. Before break- fast each morning give the child the juice of half an orange. Afterthenoon meal give one of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Keep this up for a few days and then give one of the pills after the evening meal also. Weigh the child before beginning the treatment and again after two weeks. An ir weight of from two to five pounds will | show you that you are on the right | track atlast.
