SAVE THE BABY! The White HearSe With Its Tiny Casket. Infants Are Fast Dying of Cholera lnfantum. How the Dread Disease May Be Prevented. Lactated Food the Best Diet
 in July. Mothers and Physicians
 Recommend It.

One can hardly take walk these
 days. says the Boston Globe. without
 encountering q funeral.
 Half the deaths in July are those Of children under years. Year in and
 year out a third of all who die are in-
 fants.
 The effect of the summer heat upon the health of the baby is fearful.
 Yet the intestinal disturbances. which
 are attributed to the weather. actually
 arise from errors in diet. from lack Of
 absolute purity in food-perfectly pre-
 ventable causes.
 l If all the babies were fed on diet sufficiently nutritious and absolutely l pure" says a member of the board Of
 health, there would be no such thing as cholera infantum." The weekly re- turns which physicians are obliged by | law to make at this office show no in- | fant deaths from summer diarrhoea
 among babies who have been fed on a
 diet of pure lactated food. 1 Healthy mothers milk is unequaled, but the mothers who are capable of | nursing their children throughout the entire summer are rare. not only in Boston, New York and the other cities, but also in the country. When this nat | ural food Is insufficient, or the mother | not well, or when recourse must be had | to nothing but cows milk, without per ! sonal knowledge of its fitness for the | baby, trouble occurs. When the breast
 milk is insufficient the baby should be put at once upon lactated food. Mothers of large families, and physi- clans of experience everywhere, say that for perfect security against sum- 1 mer complaints, cholera infantum and | intestinal disorders there is one diet l that never fails: Feed the baby on lac ! tated food during the hot months. at- l tend carefully to its regular feeding, | and keep all dishes clean and thor oughly scalded.
 | Mothers may in this way dismiss all | anxiety, as lactated food itself is free
 from any possibility of contagion, and will nouYish the little one as nothing else can.
 | Thousands of infants whose mothers
 have been sickly have thrived and 1 grown to be strong children upon lacta-
 ted food, which is as pure and healthy
 as the air among the Vermont hills
 where 1t is made.
 l Many a mother, too, has been l strengthened by using it. ! The principal element of mothers
 milk is sugar of milk. This is the basis ! of lactated food. With it is combined the nutritious elements of the great | cereals, wheat. oats and barley. so pre- l pared as to be readily digested and as- | simulated. The addition of the salts | found in mothers milk makes lactated l food 8 perfect substitute. l Many mothers find that nothing else
 agrees with their children. | Lactated food works marvels with lit
 tie ones who are puny and pale. l A week or two suffices to show its | splendid effect in brighter eyes, fairer
 skin, livelier manner and a steady gain
 in weight.
 l Lactated food saves babies lives. It
 is the surest preventive in the world
 of cholera infantum. It is with'o eve
 ryone's reach. and is so in, xpc .sive
 that no mother ever had a req! eycuse | for not using 1t.
