 Mothers of New Haven, read what's here!
 There is an epidemic of indigestion and cholera infantum in this and other States. "During the first half of this week." says the Boston Globe, "there were 56 deaths from cholera infantum reported to the Health Board in Boston.
 ''In Lowell more than three-ffths of all the deaths last week were of children under five years old," continues the Globe.
 There seems to be something the matter with the COWS. So plain is this that there is public outcry for official inspection in many cities. Mothers are everywhere ad- vised not to trust their infants to be fed on cows milk, or on foods that are not pure and easy to digest. ~~
 What is of paramount importance is that the food be in itself nourishing, pleasant, and harmless. That is why lactated food, above everything else, is the one safe diet for infants at this season. That is why there should be package of lactated food in every household where there is an infant or invalid to-day. It has succeeded where everything else has failed in preserving the strength of the little ones during the trying summer.
 In the few years since the Vermont Uni versity gained new renown by the success ful efforts of it's Prof. Boynton to prepare proper infants food that should take the place of perfect mothers milk-within these few years from all parts of the coun- try happy mothers have been sending un- solicited testimony that this good food has &ba of bair i,,fo orfo nnf do harm; it must do good.
 It is so good that the most eminent of physicians, Dr. Agnew of Philadelphia, uses it in his practice, and his example is followed by the most trustworthy physi- clans here, there and everywhere.
 The medical journals, careful as they are in giving advice, are outspoken in their hearty recommendation of lactated food. And here is how one of them analyses this predigested diet
 ssIn lactated food the combination of the necessary element of true food is more perfectly accomplished than it has ever been before. It has in it's composition all the elements for the perfect nutrition of the young child and the same time will be found applicable to a large majority of those adult cases where defective assimila- tion renders the question of diet serious and perplexing one to the physician and his patient. Oftentimes the nursing infant fails to be properly nourished because ot 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 8 package that any druggist sells for quarter of dollar. By buying it in larger packages it is ever cheaper.
 In the composition of this food nature food has been the model. The principa element of woman's milk is sugar of milk This is the basis of lactated food. With i is combined the nutritious clements of tn great cereals, wheat and barley, so pre- pared as to be readily digested and assimi lated. The addition of the salts found il mothers milk makes lactated food per feet substitute.
