Thin children-even along to the age of eighteen or twenty-are in danger from con- sumption, and from other wasting complainis. The children who starve, and-the-young men and women who are consumed-why, the very idea of it is frightful. For such as they there is always what the Bible calls a "mighty famine" in the innd, Food, though it may be taken plentifully, does not nourish them. It makes no fat; it gives no strength.
