Some facts about Baby's milk that every mother
should know
THE purity of the dairy milk used in Baby's diet is of vital importance-
A
but consistent quality is important too. Dairy milk varies in composition according to the district in which it is produced and milk that varies is not good for Baby's digestion. Devonshire milk is richest in the nourishing clements, that Baby needs. That is why "Ambrosia” is such a blessing. It is Devonshire milk exclusively, purified and dried in Devonshire itself as soon set it comes from the cows, by a unique process that" retains the important vitamins. The quality of "Ambrosia” never. varies and it is many times purer and more digestible than any liquid milk you can buy. For these reasons "Ambrosia” is extensively used and recommended by Hoipitala, Clinics and Doctors. It is the ideal Milk Food for Expectant Mothers, Nursing Mothers and Infant feeding.
