AKTfIR THB BOYAL VtSlt. Ariisß exciting times the health of children squires very spejial looking after. That the child is father to the man,' physically as well a< mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insicted 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 constituiion is a rook on which alone success and strength can be built. Among j the various foods that science commends! inthese days for this purpose, none holds a hiSher place than Nbaves Food fob Infaktb and Invalids. According to ta§ best meiieal 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 ages with decided oenefit. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannon be too warmly recommended and wo gladly add our words of praise to that of the numerous medical I journals and experts that have recommended I it, Nbave's Food should have a prominent I place in the dietary of every house where hhere are children or invalids.—Advt.
