SOMETHING EVERY MOTHER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
"COW & GATE" MILK FOOD.
is PURE ENGLISH MILK deprived of its water.
It is obtained from COWS of the finest stock, which graze on the RICH PASTURES of the SURREY HILLS.
4J
It is the ONLY product of its kind of English manufacture, and has been awarded gold medals and First Prizes at all Exhibitions. IT HAS NEVER BEEN BEATEN BY ANY SIMILAR PRODUCT.
COW & GATE MILK may be used for all purposes where fresh milk iş required. For infants, invalids, and especially for all domestic purposes; it will be found to be more than twice as economical as fresh milk; it will not sour but keep for a long time, and moreover it is more hygienic in use.
!
COW & GATE is entirely MILK, and it TASTES exactly as milk should; not like similar products that may be artificially fortified or preserved, and will be easily recognised by their peculiar "Biscuit" flavour.
יין
It is now for the first time, available in the FAR EAST.
May be obtained from all Chemists and Stores.
