"I do not think so good a food as Glaxo can be brought before the public by the medical profession too strongly."
Glaxo is the food doctors recommend and rear their own babies on. This is because Glaxo is not an art ficial" food, but is just pure, uncontaminated milk made safe and suitable for baby by the Glaxo process, Glaxo contains NO malt, NO flour, NO starch.
Glaxos
