The Alianburys" Milk Foods are the nearest approach to maternal milk that science has yet achieved. They provide, when used as directed, a complete diet for infants: promote vigorous health and growth: make firm flesh and strong bonos and are so graduated as to give the maximum quantity of nourishment the child is capable of digesting, according to age: Diarrhea, digestive and stomach troubles are avoided when these foods are given, as by the method of manufacture, they. are absolutely devoid of noxious germs, and therefore safer than, and superior to, sow's milk, especially in hot weather.

The Milk Foods are made instantly by the simple addition of hot water only, and are alike suitable for the delicate infant and the child in robust health.
