Expectant and Nursing Mothers

Find in Glaxo a most valuable aid, for, taken regularly two er three times a day by the mother herself (both before and after the birth of her baby), Glaxo not only maintains the Mother's own strength without taxing her digestion, but also enriches and increases the flow of breast milk. This is because milk makes milk, and Glaxo is the nourishing solida of the finest cow's milk, suitably modified and made germ-free and comfortably digestible by the Glaxo Process. Should the breast milk laid from any cause, or not nourish Baby satisfactorily, Glaxo can be given to Baby in turn with the breast or as the sole food from birth, for it contains everything to nourish Baby and nothing to cause him harm.
