Every mother wants her baby to thrive,
becauee y healthy child is n happy child.
Thc question OF how the baby shall be fed
Is demanding the attention, rs never before,
not oniy OF the mothers in the land, but of
ne entire medical profession also, because
1t is now realized how much the health ofa
child can be Influenced by proper nutrition
during the years of babyhood. AS the re-
suit of the improper feeding of the infant,
the vitality of the child is impaired, and he
grows up weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being so generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for a sub.
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims are
made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist,
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
fetal food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding of infants commenced.
Melin's Food is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and IL has done more TO
make babies strong and healthy than any
thing else that has ever been invented.
Melln's Food possesses all the requisite
constituents necessary to give child
health, Vigor and vitality. Infants are eX-
ceedngly fond of IL and thrive upon 1t when
nothing else can be retained upon the
stomach. If they have been weak, fretful
and troublesome they become happy,
healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy
checks, firm muscles and strong consti-
this excellent preparation. Mellin's Food,
being highly nutritious and easily digestod,
is also perfectly adapted to the wants of i'm
valids and convalescents.
