That the child is father to the 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 constitniion is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foodß that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nkaves Food yon Infants and Invalids, According to the bes h . 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 ia pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also bo , used by persons of all ages with decided benefit. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannot be too warmly recommended, and we gladly add oar wordfi of praise to that of the numerous modical journals and experts that, have recommended it, Nbavb's Food should have a prominent j place in the dietary of every house where [ there are childreu or invalids. —Advt.
