For the Child’s Sake

WHEN the adults of the family have a cold, the children should not be allowed to kiss them nor in any way get their breath. Kissing on the mouth should never be allowed, nor should several members of the family use the same handkerchief; much harm may be done by this custom. If the child breathes through his mouth instead of his nose, he should at once be examined for adenoids and enlarged tonsils, and have them removed before trouble gets started; and if he has an earache, a prompt examination of his ears should be made. When children who inherit such weaknesses have wise care and proper surroundings, in a large percentage of cases they will grow up to be strong and healthy men and women.— Selected.
