There are few homes in Canada that lwere not touched by the sorrow that trailed in the wake of the Spanish ’Influenza epidemic. Estimates of the loss of life caused by this epidemic show that it was almost as great as the losses caused by the war, and these take no account of the banei’ul utter-effects which are sometimes as latal as the disease itself. Victims of the disease are general- ly left with impoverished blood and I, weakened system. In this condi- tion they are exposed to many dang- ers unless precautions are taken to enrich the blood and strengthen the nerves. The debility that invariably lollOWS influenza is not a disease of my organ. It is a general condition of unfltness.

If it were only a question for toâ€"day we could easily solve it by insisting on the child’s doing the thing which would make us all most comfortable right at this, moment. But all too often the most comfortable thing to do is the very worst possible thing, while the course which means most unpleasantness is the one to take if we are to avoid future complications. It would be an easy matter, for in- stance, to keep the furniture nice and unscratched, by making the children spend all the time in the kitchen or driving them outdoors to spend their time bothering the neighbors. But either course is not at all calculated to make them stick closely at home a few years from now, so the problem of unmarred furniture and children using it comes up for solution. This is only one of the hundred and one things which puzzle the hearts of conscientious mothers.
