Br. Hand's
Phosphated
Condensed Milk
It indicates the purest milk from field-fed cows
condensed in scrupulously clean buildings, by a pro
cess that preserves all the food qualities to which has
been added phosphates and hypophosphites, the
same food properties found in wheat the greatest
body builders. It makes strong teeth and bones, firm
flesh, steady nerves quick brain and rich blood for
infants and growing children. It is a wonderful
restorative for aged or invalid persons. It is better for
the table than fresh milk
