But there are DANGERS that have to be watched during childhood

PARENTS should be happy if their

children aro the highly-strung,

· sensitive' type, because it is usually the children who go furthest in life.

But the danger with these children. is that because they are highly- strung they may live too intensely... They may burn themselves out like lamps with too bright a dame.

Fortunately you can tall very quickly when this is beginning to happen. The child will go off his food, be finicky at meals, Ife'll get pale, puffy under the ores-some- iimes even lose weight. "He'll tire casily, get fretful or listless. Every parent should be able to recognise These symptoms and what they mean. They mean that, the child using up his energy far more quickly than he is replacing it. And it is at night, during sleep, that, there stores

of

energy should be replaced. If they

are not replaced, the nervous strain on the child gets worse and worse. He's suffering from Night Starvation.

At the first sign of any of these symptoms you should act, and act quickly. Give your child Horlicke a hot cupful every night at bedtime. Horlicks will guard, him against Night Starvation by replacing his hervous energy during sleep.

Almost at once your child's appa- tite will improve He'll begin to lose his pallor and tiredness and be a happy, sturdy youngster. Safe from the terrible danger of nervous ax; haustion, he'll grow up strong and healthy, able to make the utmost of hla special gifts and capabilities.
