MOTHERS and DOCTORS

! Some doctors continue adyis-
ing mothers to give babies and
older children raw milk, there
by inviting digestive troubles
and the possibility of milkborne
diseases.
We urge mothers to DISREGARD
the advice and to give their chill
dren only properly pasteurixed,
scalded, or. better still, boiled
milk.
Such advice is today supported
by the best in the medical
profession. and by sanitarians
and professors of hygiene whose
aim is the prevention of sick
ness. And we are prepared to
defend this position and will send
literature with proofs on applica-
ton to US.
Milk and cream are now moro
generally pasteurized in the
United States under municipal
ordinances, and the practice has
everywhere resulted in reducing
infantile mortality and has inn
proved general health conditions.
washington expects to have.
before long. a law by Congress
securing to its Inhabitants. nota-
bly, its children. a safe milk and
cream supply.
