1 — Is it natural for a squint to appear in a child's eyes in the first months of his life?

A — Yes. Most infants cannot focus their gaze well before the first three months. So when you notice a bit of a squint in your child's eyes at this early period of his life, do not attach great importance to it.

2 — It used to be said that showing love to our children is very harmful. Is this true?

A — Modern opinion has overturned this old theory, after it was proven that children need tenderness and love lavished upon them constantly by their parents, and that this need of theirs stands above their need for food and clothing, and that on it depends the growth of their personality in the future.

3 — Do children inherit their parents' natures?

A — The psychologists say no; but it is not easy to convince us that this is so, for nature and temperament are very often inherited by children from their parents, and we sense this from our many observations.

Scientists have uncovered some curious facts about the effect of smoking on the process of digestion. They have found that tobacco smoke produces, in one unaccustomed to it, a nausea that results in vomiting. Before the vomiting, the stomach's functions weaken; but once the vomiting answers it, those functions grow strong again. Those who take tobacco feel a pleasure that assists digestion, so long as it stays well short of the utmost degree they can bear; but if it approaches that degree, the stomach grows dull, and the sensation of hunger and

the appetite for food disappear.

There are people whose hearts are affected by smoking tobacco, and others whose blood pressure it raises. These must give it up.

Red spots sometimes appear on the body, and their color then darkens after a short time. This is a sign of weakness of the veins and of their bursting

beneath the skin. If anything of this sort appears on your body, follow this advice:

Do not expose yourself to contrasting temperatures — that is, do not go out suddenly from a warm place into a cold one.

Do not use very hot or very cold water when you bathe; lukewarm water is the best remedy, winter and summer.

Avoid drinks that are very hot or very cold, and take them lukewarm, to avoid harm.

Do not eat 'hot' foods, or dishes cooked with spices.
