[Gutenberg 18559] • The Child's Day

Excerpt from The Woods Hutchinson Health Series, the Child's Day, Vol. 1

IF youth only knew, if old age only could! Lamented the philosopher. What is the use, say some, of putting ideas about disease into chil dren's heads and making them fussy about their health and anxious before their time?

Precisely because ideas about disease are far less hurtful than disease itself, and because the period for richest returns from sensible living is childhood and the earlier the better.
