AFTKR exciting times the health of children requires very special looking after. That 'the child is father to the man.'physically as well ai mentally, is one of those truths that can never be coo often insisted upon, and the thoughtfnl 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 Nkave's Food fob Infaktb and Invahds. Vccording to the best medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of hap y mothers, this food contains all the naturral elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may jilso be used by persons of all ages with decided benefit. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannot be too warmly -ecommended and we gladly aid aur words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it. Neavd's Food should have a prominent place in the dietary of every house where there are children or invalids.—Advt. WHKN YOU WANT RHKUMO YOU WANT IT B4.DLY.
