lu the course of a lecture at Moraington (Otego) Dr. Truby - King, cited several interesting cases illustrative of infant, malnutrition. "Omi • case referred to was- that oi ft perfectlv healthy and well-developed child which weighed nearly 101b at hut-h. Eleven weeks later the infant came under Dr. King's notice, and on being weighed was found to be actually ljlb lighter than it was when born, notwithstanding the tact that, the child had been fed on some of the best so-called ''infant foods."' As may be expected, says the Otago Daily Times, such a glaring instance of malnutrition, as expounded in Dr. Kings masterly style, created a profound impression upon his audience, and they were visibly '.relieved to. hear that- under proper diet the child had recovered from the emaciation caused by improper feeding. The lecturer stated that there was only one food ordained, by nature for the nutrition of infants, and that was an animal, not: a vegetable, product.'
