The Orginators
of condensed Milk
and Matted Milk

The process for condensing milk,
to a semi-liquid form, with cane
sugar, was patented in France in
the year 1910. by DR.. Heine.
Newton, of England, in the year
1895, first used the vacuum process
for condensing milk with cane
sugar. This also was in semi
liquid form, and others have mere
ly elaborated upon this process.
Horlick, of Racine. Wisconsin,
after experimenting for several
years, discovered, in 1883, the pro-
cess for evaporating full-cream
milk with the extract of matted
grains, reduced to a dry powder
form, without cane sugar. or other
preservatives, which would keep in
definitely in any climate. and
named it Matted Milk This was a
revolutionary achievement. being
the first time in history that full
cream milk was reduced to a pow
der that could be carried in a dry,
soluble form, to any part of the
world. When this powder is stirred
! in water for a few seconds. all the
constituents of fresh full-cream
milk are available. 1t makes a
palatable, nourishing food-drink
| for all, in sickness or health,
from infancy to old age"
