INFANT FEEDING
DR.. 6. G. CraIg's Excellent PAPER
on the Subject.
Read Before the Last Mee,iuy OF the
Iowa and Il'Inois IsOci. ty, aud
of Int rest to all Mothers

AT the last meeting Of the Iowa aud
Illinois Central District Medical society,
held at Davenport, July 8. one of the
most interesting papers presented was,
that read by DR.. G. G. Craig of this city.
on the subject of Infant Feeding" With
so high regard was the paper received by
the association that the secretary was in
structed to have it published in The Wis
Medicatrix, a leading medical journal
But the subject is one that is of peculiar
Importance. not only to the medical fra>
first consideration of mothers everywhere.
Hence the reproduction of the paper will
be of interest:
There is no food for the infant equal in
all respects TO the milk of a healthy
mother. What may be said upon the
subject in this paper will. therefore be
with the understanding that, from some
cause hey the control of the physi-
clan. the child hiss been deprived of ma :
lures provision. Tue market is glutted
with baby foods, and our Offices are in
vaded almost daily by agents employed 10
talk this food into the doctors
Many of our medical journals are full
OF articles which appear to be written in
The Interest Of science, but which are, in
reality, advertisements of the various
preparations of infant food.
1t is my object in this paper to speak
from practicsl stsndnoint I will
therefore. say nothing about the milk of
the wet nurse, The goat, the ass, or any,
thing SO generally unobtainable. but will
contlne my remarks to articles within our
reach.
We find that in cows milk we have s.
little more caseln and fat, and less water
and sugar than in human milk. The ex,
act analysis given in z emsseu, by Gerber,
is as follows:

bnation OF cream. milk and water, in
stead of milk fresh from the COW, and l
would suggest that it be tried if the food
recommended Ia this article seems to dls>
agree, but it has always struck me that,
inasmuch as human milk contains less fat
than cows milk, the addition of cream
would render it less likely TO agree with
a tender stomach
Prepared foods are mentioned only to
be condemned Some of them do well in
individual cases, but look upon them, if
good at all. as medicated foods. and
think it better for The physician to pre-
scribe the medicine himself to suit the
case. Many of them are simply money
making mixtures. see no reason why
anyone should select for his diet a con-
glomerste mass of stuff that nobody
knows what it was originally, AMI less
about what it may be wher prepared for
use, when he can have diet that he
knows to be absolutely pure and whole
some. Treat your baby as you would be
treated, and give it simple food. pre-.
pared under your own observation. free
as possible from piomaiues or germs of
disease, and everything that is unclesn.
