In FEARFUL JUNE,
Serious Month for Wean-
ing Teething Babies.
Closest Attention Must Be Paid to
Correct Fool.
Safest Diet in The Eyes Of Experienced
Mothers and Trained Nurses.

No one thing Is so essential to the
health and safety of babies in the sea-
son of sudden change to June and sum-
mer weather is wise choice of food.
Lack of care i'm this one matter
makes the mortality of infants under
five years a fearful thing for mothers
to contemplate Proper food is there
fore absolutely essential to the life and
happiness of infants, and proper food
is lactated food.
This perfect infant food secures the
combination of every necessary ele-
ment of pure, healthy mothers milk.
1t is the most perfect substitute for the
child's first food that can be obtained,
being highly nourishing and strength
ening, and furnishing ample material
for blood and bone. AS a strength
giver to growing infants, nothing can
compare with it. AS a food that is
! easy to procure and is liked by the
little ones themselves. too much can
not be said for it. AS a preventive of
cholera infantum it is worth more than
all the medicines in the world.
The efficacy and nutritive quality of
lactated food is today acknowledged
by every one. 1t is to be had at any
first-class drug store, and is as econ
omical as it is pure and good.
Babies take it eagerly. Its prepara-
tion is very simple. 1t is a triumph
of earnest efforts to make infants wei
and keep them so. So entirely has lac
tated food won the confidence of the
medical profession that the most emil
nent physicians publicly and unre-
servedly recommend it as the best pos
sible food for infants.
Mothers the country over have for
years been writing grateful letters tell
ing how their children when fed upon
lactated food have grown from weak
and puny babies to healthy, happy.
hearty youngsters.
This experience of so many mothers
together with the most advanced
knowledge, is at the service of every
mother Of baby when she uses lac
tated food. Mrs. F. B. Kimball, OF
Greenvllle, N. H., says:
when weaving Marion my first
baby, at the age of ten months, DR.. F
A. Hodgdon of Peterboro, N. H., ad-
vised me to try lactated food. She
continued to use it about six months
as her only diet, and afterward as
part of her diet.
Hazel, my youngest child, was un.
able to nurse after the second month
and lactated food seemed to please
and agreed with her better than Other
things. She is larger, fatter, and more
forward about cutting her teeth thar

was nevertheless obliged to give my
consent. Thereupon Starovitch pre-

slowly creeping towards the pocket of
his coat.
Following his example, also turned
and made a show of paying renewed
attention to the princess. But the
prince, who had perhaps remarked
my whispered conference with his min
ister now neglected the Australian en-
voy and commenced to engage me in
a friendly discussion, in which the
princess also took part.

attention to their highness l became

arm to his consort, led the company
