A GOOD START IN LIFE.

Mothers should early realize how cssential good health is for the success of their child in after life. A badly nourished baby generally means an undersized child, wanting in stamina and vigour. If unable to marse your baby, you must give the substitute. that most closely resembles human milk. No farinaceous or starchy food or unmodified cow's milk is permissible to a child under 6 or 7 months of age. The Ailenburys Milk Foods are so prepared as to remove the difference between cow's milk and human
milk, and they are as easy of digestion as the natural food of the child.
The Allenburys Foods are alike suitable for the delicate and robust, and when used as directed, for the best means of rearing a child by hard. The No. 1 Milk Food may be given alternately with the mother's milk without fear of upsetting the child or causing digestive disturbance. The dreaded process of weaning is thus made easy and comfortable both to the mother and child.
