What is a Baby?

THE body of a baby is a living

structure built by food and food only. Nature has provided a wonderful sustenance for the first few months of life. So long as a Mother feeds her own baby (and Virol will help her to do so) all is well, but every child passes through a crisis at weaning. From the living fluid, rich in every constituent that builds the human form, the childnis transferred to a diet, the constituents of which are very different. If that diet lacks certain properties your child will be ill-developed, its resistance to disease will be low, its vitality poo

Virol has been designed by Medical Experts to supply what is lacking, and, to correct the balance of the diet. It is the food for growth, and contains those vital principles that enable the body to transform food into living tissue.
