But you should watch out for, these DANGER SIGNS of nervous overstrain
YOU should be specially proud if your child is the highly-strung sensitive lype. She is so much quicker, more vivid in her re- actions than other children. Even when she's very young, you can see that she has exceptional qualities-qualities. that mark her out for success in life.
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 energles 100 recklessly. They are prone to weaken and exhaust their nervous systems with bad effects in later life,
The signs of nervous over- strain to watch out for are: difficulty and slowness in eating meals; pleness and tendency to Het overtired; tantrums and fita of irritability and bad temper. If these signs occur, netion should be taken at once.

If they are not replaced, the nervous strain on the child gets worse and worse. She's suffer- Ing 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 sho sleeps.
You'll see the difference almost at once. There'll be no moro upsets and tantrums, no more slowness at meals. Your child will be happler, more balanced, less worry to you. Her nervous system will be strengthening it- scif as it should for Inter life.
