The small quantity Of cows milk
which is given is supplied by dealer

this I shall feel an additional respon-

Substitutes for Milk.
THE question may be asked. What
is 20 be done when milk fit for con-
sumption can not be Obtained| This
is. indeed, a hard situation. In a great
country like this, think Of locality,
save in the depths Of a dark city,
where such a condition could PREVAIL
My first thought. II i; were wholly inn
possible to obtain fresh milk. would
be TO use a high grade of condensed
milk. as fresh as possible. That IS
not always easy to recognize. because
strange to say, the makers Of con
densed milk do not vet stamp upon
the package the date Of packing.
Fresh dried milk may also be secured
in conditions described above but this
also should be reasonably fresh.
Next might be suggested those
preparations which are made partly
Of milk, and call for the addition uf
water only The infants foods.
which are to be used I'm milk. presup-
pose the obtaining Of fresh milk ia
which case their own use is "a work of
supcrerogation. The next most suit
able supply of infants foods would
be the improperly termed matted
milks. which are not matted miik-.
but mixtures of milk with matted
wheat or barley These matted Wilks
contain considerable quantities OF
dextrine. which can not be regarded as
desirable In infant foods. They con-
tain little or no starch. the starch
having been all converted by the malt
into maltese or dextrine. These prep
araiions can not possibly have any
value over fresh milk when that can
be obtained.
Infant foods which contain raw
starch and raw protein other than
that Of milk. or any other form az
combination different from that of
the natural food of the child. I should
use only when starvation threatened
as the alternative.
A Case for the Doctors.
