Unfortunately, it is so much easier to give cod-liver oil and iron than to turn the best spare room into a night nursery, and to uglify the cot by taking away the curtains which made it so pretty, and to give up some of the pleasures of society in order to superintend the preparation of the baby's food; that the doctor is called in to correct by drugs the evil which drugs cannot reach.
"Must we put up with the cod-liver oil that God sends us?" "Yes, decidedly." "And with the nurses that God sends us?" "Certainly; and be thankful that you've got them, some little girls haven't any nurse. And don't talk so much." On Friday I found the mother in tears. "What's the matter?" I asked. "Oh, nothing," was the answer; "only Baby. She's such a strange child. I can't make her out at all."
This is an excellent application for a boil soothing, comforting, and drawing and will soon effect a cure. A paste of honey and flour, spread on linen rag, is another popular and good application for a boil. If the boils should arise from the child being in a delicate state of health, give him cod-liver oil, meat once a day, and an abundance of milk and farinaceous food.
"It would probably have been cod-liver oil," spoke Betty, with a shudder of repugnance. "Oh, let me get a breath of real air!" and she turned her face to the misty wind of the sea. "But what does it all mean?" asked Amy, in rather bewildered tones. "Why did we run away?" "That's what I want to know," put in Grace. "And I believe yes, I have dropped my chocolates. Oh, how provoking!
Some of these days I shall take a turn and get about again; but meanwhile it is rather dull for a stirring, active person like me to have to lie still and watch myself getting big brown and yellow spots all over me, like a map that has taken to growing. The man on my right has consumption smells of cod-liver oil, and coughs all night.
"He tried my chest with oh, I forget what they call it and he said I must be a brave boy and take my cod-liver oil well, and port wine, and everything I liked that was good. And he said he should be at West Lynne next Wednesday afternoon; and I am to go there, and he would call in and see me." "Where are you to meet him?"
Public houses were closed, and we patrolled the city night and day with blank and ball cartridges, for it was thought a panic might ensue, or worse still, that evil-disposed persons might set fire to the other side of the harbour, where were stored thousands of tons of cod-liver oil. A strict watch was kept afloat also, our steam-launch patrolling the harbour all night with an armed crew.
Now dad is very old-fashioned in some of his notions; one of them is that a parent may hand out a roast that will frizzle the foliage for blocks around, and, guilty or innocent, the son must take it, as he'd take cod-liver oil it's-nasty-but-good-for-what-ails-you.
Cream is far superior to either cod-liver or castor oil for keeping us in health. Oleomargarine. On account of the expensiveness of butter, there are a number of substitutes sold, which go under the name of oleomargarine. These are made of the fat, or suet, of beef or mutton, mixed with a certain amount of cream and real butter, to give them an agreeable flavor.
It is impossible to do anything for these diseases; there is no milk for the tuberculous, and no cod-liver oil for those suffering from rickets.... Tuberculosis is assuming almost unprecedented aspects, such as have hitherto only been known in exceptional cases.
