on the FEEDING OF THEIR INFANTS. • ] Extract from the " Housewife Annual," 1896-7. ' i " *HT* HERE is not, perhaps, a more important question for a mother who is unable' to nurse her infant ( I than the selection of a suitable food as a substitute for that designed by Nature. Sometimes starchy , JL foods are given to young infants which they aye unable to digest, and as a consequence, instead of thriving, they remain thin and puny ; and there are ca^es where fatal effects have followed such < injudicious feeding. How important, then, for mothers in selecting a food to make sure that it is one upon which | reliance may be placed ! " Judging from repute, as well as from many excellent medical and private testimonials, the infants' food/ prepared ' by Messrs. Josiah R. Neave & Co., of Fordingbridge, may conscientiously be recommended. c* ' "A mistake may be made in classing this food with ordinary starchy foods, *the use of which for young infants is to be 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, showed 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 cooking ; and as regards the proportion of flesh-forming albuminoids and the bone-forming salts, there exists a perfect uniformity between Neave's Food and mothers' milk. « A further important testimony to the value I of this food, as relating to the matter in question, has been given in the Medical Magazine, edited by Dr. George i T. Wilson, M.A., which states that the starch is so split up that after cooking no evidence of its presence can 1 be detected by the Microscope ; thus doing away in this particular instance with the objection that foods con- ' taining starch are not digested by very young children; and the fact that numerous children have been ( brought up from birth upon this food, with the best results, is the strongest proof of the correctness of what a is stated. The Lancet, the Medical Journal, and other well-known medical magazines have spoken in praise o£ ' Neave's Food, also many eminent doctors in this country, as well as in Germany and America."
