Former President of the American
Medical Association

Medical Association
WHEN was in France fouad
w extensive use being made of
modified milks, some Of which have
passed out Of popular use in this
country and others Of which may
well be adopted with advantage.
The chief forms were whey,
skim.milk, humanized milk, con.
densed milk and powdered milk.
Whey. as used by the French, is
made from skim-milk, subjected to
a special fermentation. In this
way it acquires useful nourishing
properties, especially in summer
diarrhea in little children. This
medicinal whey differs from the
whey prepared in the farms, be-
cause this latter is of variable
chemical composition and contains
many impurities which render its
utilization harmful for children.
This whey can be easily pre-.
pared at home by churning ster.
ilized skim-milk by means Of
usual churn and in adding some
sour milk or clabber from milk
soured by the bulgaricus or some
bacillus acidophilus-both Of which

may be procured in all leading
drug stores in America. When
the fermentation is completed the
whey is strained off. They same
result can be obtained with
bit OF whey prepared the day be-
fore instead Of these Tactic fer
ments. In that way the process
