MAKING CHILDREN EAT '

: Nothing is ever: gained by forcing, a child to eat when it refuses food. Make sure that .nothing is being oaten-between meals to •' destroy' the , natural appetite, and if your growing child does not have a healthful; craving for £ood honest-food at meal-times, .Mi«ro- is something the matter. Threats of punishmonfr if<'the child does not eat will not correct the difliciilty. ' . A fitful appetite in a growing child, especially if tho patient is palp, languid, nervous. -irritable,, and without ambition, usually means that the blood is thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such us -Dr. WilWilliams' Pink Pills .is demanded. During her ''teens a girl lays the foundation for her future health. Lack of blood at this time may rob her of robust, ; healthy, womanhood.'-- It is of the. greatest importance to administer to girls who grow pale and weAk a safe tonic, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills meet every requirement of the most careful mother. They make tho blood'rich and red, and it carries renewed health and strength to overy part of the body. .Your own dealer ; sells Dr. Williams'" Pink Pills.
