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. It is abundantly worth while to teach a child how to protect his health and build up his strength; too many of us only begin to take thought of our health when it is too late to do us much good. Almost everything is possible in childhood. The heaviest life handicaps can be fed and played and trained out of existence in a child. Even the most rudimentary knowledge, the simplest and crudest of precautions, in child hood may make all the difference between misery and happiness, success and failure in life.
