Expectant and Nursing Mothers
find in Glaxo a most valuable aid, for, taken regularly two or three times a day by the mother herself (both before and after the birth of her baby), Glaxo not only maintains the Mother's own strength without taxing her digestion, but also enriches and increases the flow of breast milk. This is because milk miskes milk, and Glaxo is the nourishing solids of the finest cow's milk, suitshly modified and made germ-free and comfortably digestible by the Glaxo Process.
Should the breast milk fail from any cause, or not nourish Baby satisfactorily, Glazo can be given to Baby in torn with the breast or as the sole food from birth, for it contains everything to nourish Baby and nothing to canse him harus.
