That the child is father to tbe man,' physically as well as mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful above all to see that her child has the proper nourishment to establish its constitution. { A good constitution is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science commends in these days -for this purpose, none holds a | higher place than Nbavbs Food fob Infants and Invalids. According to the best medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food contains all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also be used by persons of all aees with deoided benefit. It is a bone-building, hea'th-sus taining product that cannot be too warmly recommended and we gladly add our word" of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it. Neavb's Food should have a prominent place in the dietary of every house where there are children or invalids.—Advt.
