Give Them Cold Water

GIVE THEM COLD WATER.—It is very doubtful if there is a single possible disease in which the patient should not have cold water ad libitum. Oh, how the babes often suffer for cold water. A nursing babe is given, no matter how thirsty, nothing but milk. The little lips are dry and cracked, and the little tongue so parched it can scarcely nurse, and yet it has nothing but milk to assuage its craving thirst. Try it yourself, mother, when you have a fever, and we are sure that ever after, when your darling is dying with thirst, the teaspoon and tumbler of cold water will be in constant use.
