Extract from the Housewife Antiuql, 1896-7. • "-pHERE'.is riot, perhaps, a more impor- ■ JL . tan't question for a-mother who is unable to nurse her, infant than the selection of a suitable food as. a substitute for ■ that designed by Nature. Sometimes starchy foods are given to young, infants which they are unable to digest, and as a consequence, instead ■of thriving, they, remain thin and puny; and there are cases where fatal c ffects have followed such in•judicious' feeding. How important, then, tot mothers in selecting a food to make ■ sure- that it is one upon which leliance may be placedl .■■ "Judging from wpute, as well as from Many excellent vedtcal and private testimonials, the infants' fcod prep and by Messts Josiak R. Neave &> Co , of Fordvigbndge, may conscientiously be recommended. "A mistake may be made in classing this food with ordinary starchy foods, the use of which for young infants is to be 1 deprecated." In a report of Dr A. Stutzer, the well-known analytical chemist of Bonn, who is a director of the Chemical Laboratory of Rhenish Prussia, it is stated that the microscopic examination of Neave's Food, well cooked with milk; shbwed that no regular cellular structure of the vegetable constituents' origin /could be recognised, and that the starch contained in the uncooked food was made fully digestible by booking ; and as regards the proportion of .flesh-forming albuminoids and the boneforming salts, there; exists t; perfect uniformity between Neave's frood and mothers' milk; A further important testimony to the value of this food, as relating to the matter in question, has^ been given in the Medical Magazine, edited \\>y Dr. George J. Wilson, M.A., which state's that the starch is so split up that after cooking no evidence ! of its presence can be detected by the microscope; thus doing away in this particular instance with the objection that foods containing starch'are not digested by very young children; and the fact that ' numerous children have been brought up from birth !upoh" this "food, with the best results, is' the;strongest proof of the' correctness of what is stated. The Lancet, the Medical Journal, 'and-other well-known medical magazines haVe spoken in praise of Neave's Food, also many eminent doctors in this country, as well as in Germany, and America." ■ OVER SEVENTY YEARS' ESTABLISHED REPUTATION.
