Why Human Milk is Best

At. the British settlements in Africa, natives were trained in medicine, and were then sent out to the unenlightened tribes, he said. Examinations were held to fit these natives., for their duties, and at one examination candidates were asked to give three reasons why human milk was better than cow’s milk for babies. One candidate answered this: Because it is cheaper; because it won’t go sour; and because the cat can’t get at it.
