INTIMATIONS

HOW TO AVOID INFANTILE

AILMENTS. ►

When there are diseases prevalent in the season, it is the most dangerous to Infants and so Great Oars must be taken in feeling them with proper food otherwise they would give their Mothers a lot of trouble. To avoid the trouble is to feed them with LAC TOGES which resembles human milk. It is easily digested and promotes healthy appetite. It keeps the Infanta thriving and free from all Infantile Ailments.
