Ariaa exciting times the health of children requires very special looking after. That the child is father to the man," physically as well aB 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 bo built. Among the various foods that science commends - in these days for this purpose, nona holds a 3 higher place than Nbaves Food for Ini F'KTE and Invalids. Iccording to the Vest medical testimony, and, what is per- . haps better still, the grateful testimony of r 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 1 benefit. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannot be too warinij f recommended, and we gladly add our words £ of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that havo recommended it. Neavs's Food should have a prominen • place in the dietary of every house when, !j there are children or invalids.—Advt.
