DEVELOPMENT OF A NORMAL BABY An inexperienced mother is often al loss to know whether her baby is properly thriving, and may be undulj alarmed at small matters, or may nol understand the serious nature o; certain conditions. The best indica tions of a perfectly healthy baby ar< a steady gain in weight and quiet peaceful sleep. If baby shows fretful I ness, sleeplessness, gas or sou stomach, or is inclined to constipation it should have attention. Most of baby's trouble comes fror improper assimilation of food, result ir.g in indigestion. Ths leads to fault; elmination, and of course baby doesn' develop properly. When these symn toms occur, a trood babv laxative wil generally suffice, but great care shoul !>o exercised net to give baby strong irritating drugs that wilj set up in flammation in the delicate membran of baby's stomach. One of the best laxatives for babie is "Baby Base," a perfected prepara tion by a baby specialist, that it> easy acting, non-irritating, does not pro duce over-action or leave baby consti pated. It is a safe, harmless an efficient laxative and corrective. I baby does not improve after a fe\ doses, take him to a physician.
