se or too rapid change to a strict vegetarian
diet may result, in certain cases, in bringing about an underfed
condition or in weakening, and even disease, so that the system may be
obliged to call in the aid of digestive tonics in order to obtain all
the material it needs for the formation of its body-cells.

Enough, however, has been said on the subject I think, to clear the
stage, as it were, of the debris of antiquated "orthodox" performances.

We of the independent and rational branch of the science of healing,
ignorantly termed "unorthodox," have devised a means of preventing
disease and curing it, when encountered, in a natural way, with
materials that regenerate and invigorate the blood, and this method is
slowly but surely fighting its way into general recognition. In time we
may hope to be able to make the so-called "inevitable" children's
complaints a matter of the past, and to raise a generation in which the
sins of the forefathers shall be extinct, so that sane and healthy
offspring will be the result. But pending such time--until the final
victory of the biological-hygienic system for the prevention of
disease--we are now prepared and able to cope with the still existing
conditions, and to heal, if proper attention is paid to our teachings.

_Diet for Children in General._

For the infant child as well as for its mother, it is naturally best
that it should be nursed by the mother. The infant should receive the
breast every three hours approximately, and no food should be given it
during the night, in order to make the feeding regular and avoid
intestinal catarrh through overfeeding.

A regular diet is necessary for a nursing mother. Hot spices and foods
producing gas, must be avoided. Tight clothes that cause degeneration of
the mammary glands, are prohibited.

If the mother is unable to nurse the child, and a wet-nurse cannot be
afforded, the child must be fed artificially, and this requires
painstaking care and attention.

The main factor is to secure good cow's milk, which is most like human
milk. Milk from cows that are kept in barns, should not be used, for
these animals constantly live in stables that lack fresh air, and under
conditions very detrimental to the milk.

The milk should be warmed carefully, thereby approximating the
temperature of the mother's milk (86 deg. to 98.6 deg.) before it is given to
the infant. The nursing bottle and the rubber caps must be kept
scrupulously clean.
