Milk Talk No. 2.
CLEANLINESS
A milk is the natural food for the
young, containing within itself all
the reguirements of the body, and
as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec
ially the young, depend to a
great extent upon those who handle
the milk. And as there are so
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk after being drawn
from the cow. Every consumer
should visit the place from whence
he gets his milk'(no matter if it is
surrounded by a high board fence)
and see how the cow and the milk
are handled before using it as a
food for the baby.

The fact is as sad as it is true that the
baby find the tear waiting to dull its
blue eyes, and stain its soft cheeks. At
she first it "has no language but a cry."
Its one necessity is but to give expres
sion to its suffering, and for that a tear
suffices.
The mother who stoops In anguish
over the wai.ing child would do any.
thing to ease its suffering. But she is
helpless. The time when she could have
done so much for her child is past. She
did not realize that in those anxious
nervous days when she shrank from the
ordeal of motherhood she was preparing
suffering for the baby.
The path of motherhood is soothed
and made easy for those who use Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It gives
physical buoyancy and mental bright
ness. It tranquilizes the nerves, en.
courages a healthy appetite and induces
refreshing sleep. It gives the mother
strength lor her hour of trial, and the
confidence and content which come
front strength. It makes the birth hour
practically painless, and by increasing
the natural, food secretions, it enables the
healthy mother to enjoy the happiness
of nursing her child.
"Favorite Prescription" contains no
alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, or any
other narcotic
