Diarrhoea, digestive and stomach troubles are avoided when these foods are given, as, by the method of manufacture, they ero' absolutely devoid of noxious germs, and therolore safer than, and superior to, cow'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;
