Mrs. Leigh Putney, 10, 6 Lawrence St.,
Appleton. Wisconsin. is one of the thous-
ands of grateful mothers of ''lactatedifood
babies - she writes;
ssNells, Richardson g. Co.:
"Enolosed you will find picture OF
our baby, Truman, who owes his present
perfect health, If not his life, to lactated
food. We fed him on milk until he was
about i've months old. At that .time he
suffered severe attack OF cholera infan-
tum. He didn't seem to rally from this,
but grew thinner and weaker until he was
nearly ten months old. There were days
at a time when he could retain nothing
on his stomach more than q littl5 hot
water or arrowroot tea, and even a tea
spoon OF milk would bring OH his bowel
trouble We tried everything in the line
of food that was suggested, but nothing
seemed to be right, and he grew so weak
and emaciated that 1t was difficult to
dress or handle him. At last. on my own
responsibility, determined to try laotat-
ed food. He has never been sick since
then, and we can almost see him grow
fat. The enclosed picture was taken the
day he was fifteen months old. still
put the food in the milk he drinks, al.
though he eats much solid fuod He has
just accomplished the feat of cutting
eight teeth all at once, and has not been
sick or kept us awake single night. Our
family doctor asked me the other day
what had been giving the baby that
agreed with him SO well, and told him
laetated food. / shall always be glad to
recommend lactated food, as / have a
good sample of its work in our boy.
Very respectfully yours
.MRS LEIGH PUTNEY.''
Lactated food Is the most perfect SUBJ
stitute there can be for vigorous mothers
milk. It's basis Is sugar of milk, and
with it Is com bined the nutritive parts
of the three great cereals, wheat. barley
and oats, thoroughly cooked at high
steam heat and thus made ''prediRest-
ed. highly palatahle and nutritious food
that babies take with relish.
Young children often become SO weak
ensd by faulty nutrition during the sum-
mer that they grow listless, hardly hold
mp their heads, and take little notice of
5 things about them. Time and time
again has lactated food been given to
these little pining infants, to the immense
qualification of -perents. 1t takes but a
short time for the splendid food to bright
en- the dull eyes and TO make romping,
noisy, plump baby that was but little
while before thin, pitiahle, white-facei
child, and source Of extreme anxiety to
its parents.
Countless mothers now sleep soundly
by knowing their precious charges are
safe when fed regularly on lactated food.
No mother with siokly child should de-
lay putting 1t on vigorous diet of lac
tated food 1t means u strong, healthy
child. in place Of weakiing.
: Until within recent Years infants de-
prived of mothers milk have been reared
In haphazard and unscientific manner,
with the usual result. that the enormous
mortality during the first five years of
life has heen o reproaoh to medical men.
But all this is now changed. Practical
scientific men of the highest standing
have devoted themselves exclusively tn
these problems Of manufacturing. Many
rssults. have come, but the greatest and
most practical is the preparation of lac
tated food-next to mothers milk, the
most nourishlng, engthsning. readily
digested and palatable food that can be
given baby.
