A low state of the general health
is now the accepted cause of back
wardness in children. So in the case
of a backward child it is best to look
toward building up its health. It will
usually be found that the main trou
ble is in the food, In lack of assimi
lation and digestion. Hence care
should be taken In the kind of food
given to the child. This, with plenty
of air and exercise, should bring about
a change for the better.
Watch the conditions of the bow

ing passed off or not, or whether it
Is being passed too freely. If either
condition prevails give a small dose

“Harry had always been constipated
