SOME ADVANTAGES OF

Eledon

Over Ordinary Buttermilk.

1. Preparation from fresh cows' milk from selected and

and controlled sources.

2. The fat content is standardised to a definite percentage,

sufficient to fulfil nutritional requirements.

3. The protein is in the form of fine flakes on which the gastric juices act more easily, and the stomach evacuates more rapidly than is the case with ordinary buttermilk.

4. The mineral salts, especially the calcium salts, are more soluble than is the case with ordinary buttermilk, and this

facilitates their absorption.

5. The acidity is maintained at a constant degree.

6. The ability to vary the dilution when mixing is a decided

advantage as the strength of the liquid can be made to suit. individual requirements.

7. Many infants cannot tolerate whole milk acidified by the addition of lactic acid, and yet are able to tolerate Eledon. 8. The entire process of manufacture is subject to full

scientific .control.
