GRAITFXIXG RESULTS
[Per Press Association.]
WELLINGTON, May G
The Wellington Society for the promotion of the health or women and children, in its first annual report of eases, just issued, states that, of iffie 210 babies who . have . been tinder, observation, six only are dealt with in the report. The children were fed on costly patent goods, and yet they grew to. the thinness of the proverbial rake. II hen the patent foocls were discontinued and the Plunked nurses’ directions ed in regard to dieting on humaniset. milk, the condition of the babies took a rapid turn for the better., some of them gaining five pounds in six weeks. Others developed at the rate of balf-a-pound a week. Normal sleep and a better tone generally followed the simple commonsense treatment laid down; and the babies, instead of being lost, now bid fair to become robust members of .society. In one case contracted limbs became straight as a result of rational feeding.
