Teaching Baby to Walk.

Never encourage a' baby to try to walk if he seems unwilling to learn. The sockets of the joints are very shallow in tiny children and the bones so feebly‘cbftttected that they are easily dislocated. Besides, bowed legs are very much easier to avoid than to cure, and standing before the legs are strong enough to bear the weight of the body may result in permanent deformity.
