"I do not think so good a food as Claxo can be brought before the public by the medical profession too strongly."

Glaxo is the food doctors recommend and rear tir own babies on. This is because Glaxo is not "artificial" food, but is just pure, uncontaminate milk made safe and suitable for baby by the Glax process. Glaxo contains NO malt, NO flour NO starch.

Glaxo

“Builds Bonnie Babies"

has been persistently used by Infant Welfare Centres in Great Britain for the last twelve years: These Centres now purchase nearly a quarter of a million pounds weight of Glaxo every month, enough to feed over 50,000 babies continuously.
