A Ol_ A famous doctor once said: ' Encourage your child to be merry and to laugh. A good, hearty laugh expands the chest and makes the blood bound merrily along. Commend me to a good laugh not a little sniggling laugh, but to one that will sound through the house. It will not only do your child good, but it will be a benefit to all who hear and be an important means of driving the blues away from a dwelling. Merriment is catching and spreads in a remarkable manner, few being able to resist the contairUin A honrtv laugh is a delightful harmony; indeed, it is the best of all music."
