(Q) What dosage and how often should the Castoria be given?
(A) This only if it becomes necessary, you see; and then,
of course, only one to two drops at each dose, three to six
hours apart, until it has made the correction through the
alimentary canal, - which will be detected, of course, in
the stool.
This would have nothing to do, of course, with the frequency
of the Glyco-Thymoline, - as these will work together, and
the Glyco-Thymoline is for one thing - the correcting in the
colon, while the Castoria is for the digestive system.
(Q) Will you give the formula for the milk, that should be
started?
(A) This should be the regular formula as supplied to
physicians through the Carnation Company.
With this body, later it would be well to add the Lime Water,
- which is a portion of the formula, but would be added
according to the very development; for the body is well
developed, and will require such to prevent the LACK of
sufficient calcium in the system.
(Q) How much weaker should the formula be in the beginning?
(A) This will necessarily have to be tested. It may
be found necessary at first to be HALF, then it may be
three-quarters. This will depend upon the conditions; for,
as is indicated and is known, with a developing child -
especially at this age - it may change within an hour.
(Q) It should be taken entirely off the mother's milk?
(A) As given, change to the Carnation formula. The sooner
this is done the better.
