FATAL TO DELICATE BABIES
While formaldehyo, under various
names has been used in the adultera-
/ tion OF milk it is said to be harmless
when taken in milk by adults. and its
! popularity among INSCRIPTIONS milk
dealers Is due to the fact that single
drop OF the fluid is enough 20 embalm
several gallons OF milk.
In the cases of infants fed on milk
containing formaldehydo the results
are especially fatal. The continuous
use OF milk adulteration with formal
dehyde retards and eventually nulli-
hes the action OF the gastric juices Of
