A few days since there were about two hundred babies in the city foundling asylum to be had for the asking.
Of all these little ones there remain but two whom nobody seems to want.
These two forlorn little things are described as "thin and nervous; inclined to cry, and not taking kindly to those who come to pick out free babies for adoption."
Hundreds of women anxious for children have gone to the asylum, have passed by the two little skinny babies, and have asked to be informed as soon as fat babies should be on hand.
Presently we shall tell childless persons—especially bachelors—why they should get a baby and bring it up.
But first, learn that the best possible choice would be one of those two despised "thin" babies.
In all the world's history, the greatest men have begun life as
THIN babies.
You must know from common observation that in babyhood the head is big out of all proportion to the rest of the body.
A baby one year old has in its brain alone at least one-third of all the blood in its body.
THE BIGGER AND MORE ACTIVE THE BRAIN the more blood is required to nourish it, and THE MORE THE REST OF THE BODY SUFFERS.
