THE CHILD'S THROAT. _
Be very vigilant in caring for the
child's throat in winter.
Formaldehyde in solution is the
most effective, reliable of the fumigants
with which I am acquainted.
In epidemics of infectious disease
it is a servant of inestimable vali
ue. The ease of scarlet fever demands
isolation and quarantine,
but the rest of the family may be
protected by the fodidoua, timely
Use of formaldehyde. Kept sprinkled

Germs that attack the throat are
among the easiest to destroy, if
J com batted eariy?before they be- .
come deeply imbedded in the tkCes.
Even a weak solution at <
rack add is effective if need as a {
gargle, spray, or nasal douche at
the first sign of disturbance. Bar
1 bies and small children may be
sprayed with a suitable atomiser
for the nose and throat after tripe
through dust, or after attendance
on whiter gatherings where somebody
coughs and thus sets free infectious
bacteria. A good plan is
to spray before going to bed and
on rising, and the boradc add solution
is one of the simplest and
best preventives of trouble. . f
Cold, icy air is dangerous for j i
adults as well as children. Cover 1
baby's face with a light woolen I
fabric, if he is to be carried J
through extreme cold to a neigh- i
