HEARTS VILLACHE
Days of Anxiety Re-
turn for Parents.
Will Baby get Trough the
Summer in Safety.
Many Little Lives Depend on
Proper Diet.
Cholera Infantum is Most to be
Dreaded.
LaCtated Food the Best Preventive
known.

Approaching summer casts its shadow
on many mothers heart.
Every summer safely passed is a gold
en- milestone in baby's life.
But think of the countless little lives
that in June, July and August are to
swell the list of infant deaths under five
years.
How many mother would like to
hide her precious baby in her bosom till
the danger is passed. But she must
know that only intelligent, thoughtful
care can keep the baby WELL
High temperature with improper feed
ing now brings dread cholera infantum,
diarrh9a and commissions.
With the use of proper food, and there
is nothing so absolutely good as lactated
food, these dangers may be avoided.
Reports from homes all over the coun-
| try, and especially from the large insti-
buttons where the great number of in
fants give ample data for accurate judy
ment show that babies thrive best on
| lactated food.
The supreme Importance of pure, nu-
tritious nourishment, and the long study
by many OF the most prominent physi
clans in the.country of infant disorders
from mistakes in diet, led to the prepar-
alton of lactated food Next to pure
mothers milk, it is the most nourishing,
strengthening, readily digested, and most
palatable food that can be given baby.
1t more closely resembles mothers
milk than any other food known. Its
basis is sugar of milk, which is the basis
of mothers milk. With this is combined
the nutritive elements of wheat, barley
and oats in such proportion as best meets
the requirements of the rapidly growing
child.
Baby must eat we'll to keep up strength
and resist disease.
When teething is added to the fretful-
ness due to hot weather many babies re-
fuse all other nourishment except lac
tated food, which they take with de-
cided relish.
In the preparation of lactated food not
only has absolute purity and freedom
from possibility of contagion, as we'll as
a remarkable nourishing power been Sc
cured, but also pleasant taste that in
duces babies, especially when being
weaned, to take food when nothing else
will tempt them.
1t is when the strength is not kept up
and the child is ALLOWED to grow nervous,
thin and fretful that slight increase in
heat brings on the exhausting diarrhea
or fatal cholera infantum. No house
hold where there are children should be
without lactated food, especially in July
and August,
With lactated food and a reasonable
care in keeping the baby's dishes care
fully scalded, parents may watch baby
with delight as it grows every day
stronger and healthier
Summer after summer testifles to the
power of lactated food to make plump,
rosy cheeks and sturdy little legs and
arms and bodies, and days full of noise
and glee and nights of sound refreshing
sleep.
The prettiest babies are the healthy,
chubby, rosy ones. Lactared food gives
babies solid flesh and bones and saves
their lives when threatened with wasting
diseases. 1t is to be had at any drug
store, and is so inexpensive that no
mother need be without it.
