DR. ,., Horses, Cattle, Sheep Swine Milk as l<'ood for Children. Wherever milk is used plentifully, there the children grow into robust men and women. Whenever the place is usurped by tea, we have degeneracy swift a ud certain. Dr. Ferguson, who has devoted a large share of his attention to this subject, has ascertained, from careful measurements of numerous factory children, that between thirteen and fourteen years t h ey grow: nearly four times as fast on milk for breakfast and supper as on tea and coffee, a fact which shows t he benefit of proper diet. ~o diet is so suitable for growmg children as wellcooked oatmeal p orridge and milk. Ow ing to its easy digestibility, it is ef equal beqefit to invalids, and, more especially, dyspeptics who often r egain health and pipk up flesh at a wonderfully . rapid rate on milk and good bread. Good as cows milk is for children and invalids, the milk of the goat is much bett er; and it often happens that persons will thrive and grow strong on the latter, who could not digest the former. For this reason goats' milk is largely prescribed by the faculty, and would be more so if it were more plentiful. Dr. Pye Chavas.se says,"The finest, healthiest children are those who for th~_ _first four or five years if'"'tl'ill1r lives are fed -principruly-upo it.,, He also states that asses' milk is more valuable for delicate infants, goats' milk for strong ones.
