sembles mothers milk thar any other
food known. Its basis is sugar of milk,
which Is the basis of Mothers milk. With
it is combined the nutritive elements of
wheat, barley, and oats, in such proportion
as. best meets the requirements of the grow
ing child.
In recommending the use of this food at
this season, one of Jersey City's best physi-
clans said to a NEWS reporter yesterday
"This food should be in the hands of every
mother. For in all cases of defective lacta-
ton the infants health is best protected
either by weaving and using lactated food
altogether, orin n event by supplements
ing the natural aiiment of the child with
lactated food. The wonderful preservatlve
influence of lactated food is too well known
to require any further statement. 1t is the
purestand most nourishing thing that we
can indsto commend to mothers."
The thousands Of testimonials from the
mothers of children whose lives nave been
saved by lactated food, are equally as CON
vincing as the statements of the pnysi-
clans. Here is what is said by the mother
of as healthy a baby as can be. Mrs.
George Morine OF West Lynn, Mass,
writes
81 SEM n of my baby's pictures to prove
that lactated food is the best food for
babies. / have used it since he was two
weeks old and it agrees with him in every
respect. He has never had one sick day
since he was born, and 1 shall always think
I owe this to lactated food. He was born
November I, 1885,, and was nine months old
