Strawberries are‘both wild and culti- vated. The name of the fruit was probably derived from the strawlike stems of: the plant, or from the berry lying strewn on the ground. The several species belong to the genus 'Frngaria; they; are stemless, peren- nial herbs with compound leaves; they multiply by runners, which are long, weak branches, forming a bud at the and, which soon develops roots and leaves, and by decay of the branch be- comes an independent plant. New varieties are produced from seed, from flowers carefully cross-fertilized. The Ieedlmg comes up in four or six weeks and if protected during winter and transplanted the next spring will bear fruit. the following year. The strawberry is ona of our most dehclous fruits, and highly"~ esteemed by every one. Strawberries may be prepared in a variety of ways of which we glve a few receipts. Children seem _to lie comfortably in hammocks, and as these permit plenty at air to surround the patient they are certainly advantageous. The bad habit of rocking the children should be avoided, as it is uncalled for and frequently promotes gastric dis- turbance, ending in vomiting. The first point after properly cool- ing the body with bathing, sponging, nnd using either alcohol and water or Bovine perfumed toilet water, is to check prespiration. \To do this effec- tively we must keep the child in a large, well-ventilated room, the tem- perature of which should be main- tained at about 68 to 72, degrees F. ii at all possible. The room should be darkened, and all unnecessary noises and irritations are to be. strictly lvoided. Every mother knows how difficult it In to keep milk fresh and pure dur- ing hot weather, and therefore great- or care must be taken thoroughly to destroy any and every possible source of contamination, namely, germs of all kinds, by steaming the milk in a sterilizer at least fortyâ€"five minutes. Wlhen milk is .to be kept only for a short time. pasteurization can be re- sorted to. Pasteurized milk is really milk that is sterilized at a lower tem- peralure, but for all practical pur- poses the common milk steamer will answer. Nothing is so pleasmg to an in- fant as the removal of all unnecessary clothes, and hence it is our duty to make these suffering children com- tortable. To treat summer complaint in chil- dren the "Medical Record” says the first point is to discontinue all kinds of food which were given at the time d! the attack; for example, if milk has been given, it must be discou- tinued, and a food more easily assimi- lated substituted, as for example bar- ley water, rice water, farina water, saga water, cornstarch water. These simple preparations are usually made by adding a tablespoonful of barley, rice or farina to a pint of water, boil- ing the same, straining it and warm- lng it immediately before feeding. It should be given in the same quantities as the child has been in the habit of taking prior to this attack, but at longer intervals, thus allowing the stomach much more time for the di- gestion and absorption of a lighter article of food and giving it a little more rest. For example, if a child has been fed on four ounces of cow’s milk and two ounces of barley water, and the feeding was continued every three hours, then it is a good plan during an attack of summer com- plaint to stop the milk and give only barley water. slx ounces, and feed every four hours. During the inter- val, if the child is very thirsty, it is a good plan to give boiled water plain, or boiled water to which the white at a raw egg, albumen water, and some salt are added, and, if the child Is old enough, an occasional few drops of the expressed juice of meat, made by broilimg a steak over a fire and ex- pressing the juice in a lemon squeez- er or meat press. When the infant’s normal condition is again restored and all disease symptoms have passsd away, then we can gradually return to nature’s remedyâ€"milk feeding. GOD LEV“ Y THEM.
