With the mother lies a big responsibility, the wel. fare of the coming generation. The tropics especially call for a bealthy constitution. For baby, therefore, the best only is good enough.

BEAR BRAND comes from the great Swiss Milk contre, the Emmenthal, it is very rich in nutritive elements, absolutely pure and an infant food par excellence.
