LET THE BABIES LIVE.
THE IGNORANCE OF MOTHERS
CA USES A FEARFUL NUMBER OF
DEATHS,

The fearful number of infant deaths
this month, especially from cholera in
fantum. is due to the ignorance of we'll
meaning mothers.
Improper foods he cause ofnine-tenths
of all the infant mortality
Mothers milk, when healthy and SUI
fcient, is the ideal infant food, and it
will never be surpassed.
But when in the first year ofthe baby's
life recourse must be had to other food
or when the time comes for weaving the
child. lactated food should be given in
preference to anything else. 1thas saved
the lives of hundreds OF babes.
There is no mother in the land but can
read the following letter with proht. 1t
is from Mrs. c. M. Childs ofElkton, Md.
1t is written to the manufacturers OF
lactated food in Burlington, VT:
This is a photograph of my three lit
tie ones, who are all subjects of the use
of lactated food.
"Lactated food was recommended to
me By DR.. George Gillispie ofConowingo,
Md. six years ago, when the eldest was
a baby Ny present baby was born
May 10, 1892. At the end of six weeks
my physician advised me to use steril-
lied milk did so for few weeks, but
she did not seem to thrive.
"She continued to grow thin and be-
came very much emaciated. At the end
of six months she weighed the same as at
her birth, which was eight pounds. The
doctor thoughtit doubtfulifshe survived.
Without consulting him further, re-
sorted to the use of lactated food, as
had done before with the Others, procur-
ing it from H. H. Mitchell OF this town.
in one week the improvement was
very perceptible. At the end of two
months the doctor, neighbors, and
friends were amazed at the great change
in her condition.
THE doctor said What has caused
this CHANGE
my reply was 'Lactated food
"He remarked: 1t is evidently the
right food, although he had at times
recommended another not being famil-
lar with this one. AS you see her in the
picture, l attribute her healthy appear
ance to the use of actated food"
Mothers who have used lactated food
agree that it best supplies the materials
for baby's rapid growth and develop
ment.
Lactated food is prepared with re-
gard for purity, cleanness, and freedom
from possibility Of contagion that merits
all praise that has been so lavishly be-
slowed upon it by physicians and CRATE
full mothers.
The nutritious parts of barley, wheat
and oats are so prepared as to easily be
assimilated to these are added sugar
OF milk and the salts of mothers milk.
These constituents are thoroughly cook
ed at high steam heat, and make predi-
gested, palatable, nutritious food, aper-
feet substitute for mothers milk, fit for
meeting the demand of the rapidly grow
ing child.
Lactated food has tideed thousands of
babies this summer through the sickly
hot days. AS one of the greatest special
lists on children's diseases has well said {:
1T is worse than thoughtless for
mothers who think and read to neglect
lactated food, when so many mothers
eagerly tell of their own accord how it
has saved their babies lives and made
them strong, healthy, plump, and full OF
life"
Lactated food can be had of any drug
gist. 1t is always pure, keeps perfect
ly and is not affected by age or temper
