able to fully discharge the maternal
duty Of nursing during the whole of the
natural period are few.
Until within recent years infants de-
prived of mothers milk have been reared
in a hap hazard and unscientific manner.
with the usual result that the enormous
mortality during the irst five years of
life has been a reproach to medical men.
But all this is now changed. Practi-
cal scientific men of the highest stand
ing have devoted themselves exclusively
to these problems Of infant feeding.
Many results have come, but the great
est and most practical is the prepare
tion Of lactated food-next to mothers
milk, the most nourishiDg, strengthen
ing readily digested, and palatabie food
that can be given baby.
Very many babies that could not be
reared, that pined and wasted on other
food, have grown fat, ruddy and strong
when fed on lastated food.
Just now when death reports show a
fearful prevalence of diarrhma and
cholera infantum, lactated food is do
ing its best work.
1t Is saving the lives of babies In
nearly every city and town in the union.
Every day most touching letters come
from mothers whose babies have escaped
OF safely gone through dangerous com.
plants by the help Of lactated food.
Mr.. and Mrs Edward Graf of Corne.
lius, Oregon, writes:
"Our baby was born in October. After
trying milk and several kinds of infant
foods we began using lactated food.
On this she thrived and grew well and
strong. We regard lactated food as all
that is claimed for It"
