rated Food Prescribed.

Thousands OF packages Oh Aac@
tated Food Prescribed.
More than fifth of all the babies
born in Massachusetts, says the Boston
Herald, die before they have lived a
year.
And the last report of the state board
of health shows that twO-thirds Of these
little unfortunates die in the summer
months.
The Herald continues:
Cholera intantum is. of course, the
most destructive cause. The infants
stomach goes back on him. Frequently
the natural food is not nutritious. That
is one reason that lactated food is used.
Thousands of packages are prescribed
every year at this season by physicians
who say that the food is pleasant to
taste, and is easily digested and asSiml-
lated. 1t is what they term predi-
gested food, and they consider 1t espe-
cially valuable in all weak conditions of
the digestive organs, not only for in
fants, but for older inYalids.
A we'll known physician said yester-
day that when cholera infantum threat
ened, lactated food was often the only
remedy.
And the beauty of it is" he said,
''for % cents a mother can buy pack
age that contains enough to make ten
pints OF cooked food.
MANY an infant whose mother has
been sckly has thrived upon this lac
tated food. for it contains the same in
gradients as mothers milk, and is as
pure and healthful DIS the air among the
Vermont hills, where it is made. And
many a mother, too, has been strength
ened by eating it.
1.-The Wells q Richardson company,
of Burlington, who put up the food, have
probably received more heartful letters
from delighted mothers whose babes
the food has benefited than one could
read in a month; hundreds of pho
tographs of little ones have been sent
TO the company by grateful parents.
"And these photographs represent
the joys of every kind of happy home.
Aristocratic patients of the famous Dr.
Agnew. of Philadelphia. have sent the
pictures of their babes in the same
mail that has brought the testimonials
of these poor people who have had their
little ones spared to them"
DR.. Agnew is only one of the many
eminent physicians, says the Herald,
who have publicly recommended the
use of lactated food.
In the few years since it became
known, they say, it has saved the lives
of many babes.
1.-The explanation of its great sue
cess say the makers, lis that in its
composition natures food for babies
has been the model. Science cannot
improve upon nature.
1.-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.s so prepared as
to be readily digeSted and aSsimilated.
The addition of the salts found in moth
er's milk makes Iactated food a perfect
substitute Many mothers write that
nothing else would agree with their chill
dren."
Editor Ingalls,, of Lynn. writes:
'My boys food did not agree with
him, and he had collie most of the time.
But as soon as we fed him lactated food
there was change for the better; the
collie left him, and he commenced to
grow fat-good. solid flesh"
The better the food, says the Herald.
the better the baby.
