Digeslion, Sleep, Strength Quickly Impaired, Food Must Nourish But Not Burden System. Lactated Food Expressly Pre pared to This End. Made Under Personal Care of Eminent Prof. Boynton. It is the plague of suuuuer that it makes babies fretful, sleepless, capricious In ap petite and exposed to diarrhoeal disorders whenever their strength is sufl'ered to de cline. It is the father's, the mother's, the physi cian's care to provide iv diet capable of abundantly nourishing, and one that can by no possibility bring contagion with it. It is not ;uougH to merely select a pure ntwjtishing tjod. It must be acceptable to the 'delicate, weakened stomach of the little oner IV must be taken In sufficient quantities and with relish to keep the child strong, well and growing. With all these requirements -in mind lactated food is prepared. Under the ad vice of the professors in the medical de partment of the Vermont university, more especially that of Prof. A. P. Grinuell, deau of the university, and Dr. S. M. Itobertp, professor of diseases of children, and under the investigation and direct supervision of Prof. O. S. Boynton, tho manufacture of lactated food- whs beguu. It.has saved thousands of babies' lives nud enabled thousands more to grow up stn.'ig and big and blessed with sturdy constitu tions. The use of lactated food does away with any anxiety regarding cholera infantum. Lactated food is as pure as mouutaiu air. It agrees with children's stomachs even wheu they are made sensitive by suinnmr heat. A host of mothers have to thank lactated food for the joy of seeing their drooping, silent, white-faced little ones turu to bright-eyed, charming babies, that eat and sleep and grow in a way to delight any mother's heart. Great numbers of such mothers have written that nothing else would agree with their children but lac tated food. A trial of less than two weeks will tell its own story in baby's weight, eyes, cheeks and spirits. Nursing mothers rind lactated food just adapted to their own peculiar needs. It nourishes both mother and child. And this is what one would expect from a knowledge of its rich, blood-making in gredients, using pure milk sugar as a basis of mother's milk; there is added the richest gluten flour of wheat and oats. These are subjected to high steam heat under pres sure, aud while in constant motion and perfectly cooked the extract of the fiuest malt barley is added, making this a partially digested food that is easily as similated by the.feeblest stomach. Invalids aud aged persons find lactated food the most grateful to their weak stomachs of any nutriment they cau take. Heady for All Work.
