But you should be continually on your guard. In the bringing-up of highly-strung children there are dangers that do not arise in the case of ordinary children.
Highly-strung children spend their energies too recklessly. They are prone to weaken and exhaust their nervous systems with bad effects in later life.

What is happening is that the child is using up her frervous energy more quickly than she's replacing it. And it is at night, during sleep, that these stores of nervous energy should be re- 1 placed.
If they are not replaced, the hervous strain on the child gets worse and worse. She's suffering from Night Starvation.
Give your child Horlicks, a cupful, hot, regularly at bedtime. Horlicks will guard her against Night Starvation by replacing her nervous energy While she sleeps.

You'll see the difference almost at once. There'll be no more-up- sets and tantrums,
more slowness at meals. Your child will be happier, more balanced, less worry to you. Her nervous system will be strengthening itself as it should for later life:
