Dose—a teaspoonful every third hour before nursing. ^ Subnitrate of bismuth, 3 parts. Lime water, Syrup rubi, a a 50 M. Dose—as above. This prescription is preferred when the stools are green.

' . . • .1 part. Water, 20 parts. 2. The second is a nutrient broth, made of lean beef without vegetables. Twice or three times during the day the infant is immersed for five minutes in a warm bath at about the blood heat. Into this water a little bag of mustard flour may be allowed to soak; two ounces of mustard suf- ficing for six gallons of water.
