Do not' overfeed chii- dren during the hot weather. Serve only the lighter and more ecaslly digested foods, and make sure the bowels keep normally sotive. Most of the troubles to which children seem particolarly susceptible in summer have thelr origin in a constipated condi- tion, The first care of the mother should be to see that the children are regular. At the first sign of a @lsposition to neg- lect this important function a mild laxa- tive should be administered promptly. Cathartics and purgatives should mever be given to children as they are harsh and violent In their action and tend to upset the entire system. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Byrup Pepein, is now very gen- erally used to correct stomach and bowel trouble and is especially adapted for Children, being pleasant to the taste, mild and gentle in action and iree from opiate or narcotic drugs of any descrip- Swap Anything in the “Swapper’s Column" Summer Suggestions for Baby’s Mother tion.
