HOW TO KEEP WELL
By DR. HUGH 8. OUMMING
Surgeon General. United States Public Health Senior:
DISORDERS IX NUTRITION
KILLS WY “WANTS
Some time ago. in a study made of
the causes of death in a group of
normal children under one year of
age. it was found that more than
one-half of the deaths that occurred
in this particular group were due to
disorders of nutrition. Such a study
shows the great importance of nurs-
ing the baby if possible during the
first year of life.’
It is well worth while for the
mother to make energetic efforts to
continue giving her baby the food
which nature intended for it to re-
ceive. A mother should not willins-
ty surrender this duty at the first
opportunity offered by some slight
difficulty.
Mother’s Health.
In order properly to nurse the
baby it is necessary that the mother
keep herself in good health. This
means that she must take sufficient
sleep and eat good food including
plenty of milk. meat once a dsY.
ores. fresh vegetables. ripe fruit.
nourishing light food and drink
plenty of water.
She should endeavor to eat only
these foods which agree with her
and she should be careful not to
eat green fruit and other food which
may set up digestiva disturbances.
A nursing mother should never
take any drug without the advice of
a physician. Alcohol in am form
should never be taken by the nurs-
ing mother. It. used to be a com-
mon practice for mothers to take
melt liquors to stimulate lilo flow of
milk.
Melt‘Drinkr.
While under proper medical su-
pervision the use of malt drinks
might have some slight value as a
temporary measure. the safest rule
has always been to avoid all alco-
holic beverages. Good results may
sometimes be secured by taking an
increased amount of fluids in the
form of cocoa. beef tea, buttermilk
or pure cow's milk.
The mother should avoid sit up.
usual excitement or those things
which tend to an unusual outburst of
the emotions. Life should be so
regulated gs to protect mothers from
weariness and fatigue during this
period.
