ways.
It has long been known that butter.
milk Is a valuable food medicine
even when soured by lightning. We
but science has discovered how to
make buttermilk without q churn and
without lightning. and without sepa.
rating the butter. Butterless butter.
milk is good, full-cream buttermilk 10
better In most cases.
Cows milk is digested by the infant
with difficulty, often resulting In com.
plete breakdown of the digestive and
nervous system; but the adult diges.
tive system Is not 30 well adapted to
the digestion Of milk and hence fiatu.
lence and absolute revulsion often re.
suit from its continued use. But
buttermilk causes no such difficulties,
because 1t Is in a sense largely pre-.
digested, the coarser curds Of tho
casein In cows milk being finely
broken up.
This removes the greatest objection
to cows milk as diet for infants and
as an ideal monodiet for adults In
severe stomach and bowel troubles.
A certain amount of fat is necessary
to the best conditions for normal
nutrition, and fat Is about 2h times
more valuable as a heat and energy
producer than other forms of carbon:
and Of the fats. butter is the most
easily assimilated, except peanut and
olive oil. But emulsifled as the fat 10
in milk, 1t Is much more easily assimi.
lated than as butter. For this reason,
and for others, the new way of making
buttermilk gives a much more nutri.
tious product and more digestible, o.
pecially for the infant.
Cows milk cannot be made identical
with the infants natural food. but 1t
can be approximated to 1t. The chief
dif1lculty to be overcome is to adapt
the large curds that tend to remain In
the stomach longer than they should,
as the development Of the calls stom.

q much heavier curd than that 70.
