Inc one safe diet for infants at this sea-
son. That is why there should be a
package of lactated food in every house
hold where there is an infant or invalid
to-day. 1t has succeeded where every
thing else has failed in preserving the
strength of the little ones during the
trying summer.
In the few years since the Vermont
University gained new renown by the
successful efforts of it's Prof. Boynton
to prepare proper infants food that

harm; it must do good.
1t is so good that that most eminent
OF physicians, DIR. Agnew, of Phlladel-
phla, uses it in his practice, and his ex-
ample is followed by the most trust
worthy physicians here, there, and ey-
erywhere.

the necessary element of true food is
more perfectly accomplished than it
has ever been before. 1t has in its COM
position all the elements for the perfect
nutrition of the young child, and the same
time will be found applicable to large
majority OF those adult cases where de-
fective assimilation renders the question
Of diet serious and perplexing one to
the physician and his patient. Often
times the nursing infant fails to be
properly nourished because of the poor
quality of the mothers milk, and in
such cases lactated food may well be
used by both the mother and the infant.
As preventive of cholera infantum it
must be efficacious.
And ten pints Of this pure, wholesome
food is made from package that any
druggist sells for quarter OF a dollar
BY buying it in larger packages it is
even cheaper.
In the composition of this food, nat
ure's food has been the model. The
principal element of woman's milk is
sugar of milk. This is the basis of
lactated food. With it is combined the
nutritious elements of the great cereals,
wheat and barley, so prepared as to be
readily digested and asslmilated. The
