Most of the soothing syrups contain opium in some form
October 31, 2007 on 9:05 am | In Fitness and Health Links | Comments OffMost of the soothing syrups contain opium in some form. To give babies
opiates is a grave error, to speak mildly. It weakens the child, may lay
the foundation for a deadly habit later in life, and often an overdose
kills outright. Well informed mothers avoid such drugs and keep their
children reasonably quiet by means of proper care.

October 27, 2007 on 10:51 pm | In Fitness and Health Links | No Commentswhich means that they are a combination of water and carbon
The sugars and starches are grouped under the name of carbohydrates,
which means that they are a combination of water and carbon. There are
various forms of sugar. About 4 per cent of milk is milk sugar, which
agrees better with the young than any other kind of sugar. It is not so
soluble in water as the refined cane sugar, and therefore not so sweet,
but it is fully as nourishing. Honey is a mixture of various kinds of
sugars. Cane sugar is taken principally from sugar beets and sugar cane.
There is no chemical difference between the products of canes and beets.
Sugars can not be utilized by the blood until it has changed them into
other forms of sugar.

Those who have cultivated fear should try suggestion
October 20, 2007 on 8:41 am | In Fitness and Health Links | No CommentsThose who have cultivated fear should try suggestion. Positive
suggestion is always best. Let them analyze matters thus: ‘I have feared
daily and nightly. Nothing has happened. I have brought much unnecessary
discomfort upon myself. There is nothing to fear and I shall be brave
hereafter.’ Those who fear God have a low conception of Him. Let them
remember the beautiful saying that ‘God is love.’ Through repeating them
often enough, such positive suggestions sink so deeply into the mind
that they replace doubts and fears.

Whipped cream and ice cream are so familiar that they hardly need
October 15, 2007 on 10:31 pm | In Fitness and Health Links | No Commentscomment
Whipped cream and ice cream are so familiar that they hardly need
comment. Cream is such a rich food that it must be eaten in moderation.
Otherwise it will cause discomfort and disease. Ice cream is made of
milk and cream, in varying proportions, flavored to taste and frozen. It
is not necessary to add eggs and cornstarch. If eaten slowly it is a
good food, but taken in too large quantities and too rapidly it may
cause digestive troubles. It is not best to chill the stomach. Those
with weak digestion should be very careful not to do so.
