Dear Sire,

As requested by you we herewith beg to submit to you our

report on your "Baby" Brand Milk; -

We start with a parallel between the "Baby Brand" Milk,

analysed by Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co. Ltd. as per report enclosed, and whole or unskimmed milk, reduced to 87.17% of water, same as the

"Baby Brand" Milk; .

This shows that the richness of fat of the Baby Brand Milk is less compared with the fat of whole milk, so we consider the Baby Brand Milk a skimmed milk,- Gane sugar represents in 100 grammes a mutrition of 410 calories, so 14.30 % equal to 59 calories, and this nutritive power gives the Baby Brand Milk at least the same nutrition whole milk. On the other hand cane sugar is considered not as good a material for feeding babies as the greater proportion of fat in whole milk. In consequence Baby Brand Milk is not a perfect substitute for whole milk, but as the poorer class of people are bound to feed the children on a very doubtfull class of goods, as rice and water and even worse stuff, because a good and cheap whole milk is not obtainable, for them, we are of the opinion that under the said circumstances the Baby Brand Milk is very fit for

use as a substitute for cows milk.

We are,

Dear Sire, Yours Faithfully,

Drs. Muller, Justi & Hoch
