ON t h E FEEDING OF THEgR BNFANTS, » Extract from the "Housewife Annual," 1896-7. 11 w | "* 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 -L 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 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. v " 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 preportion 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 of this food, as relating to the matter in question, lias been given in the Medical Magazine, edited by Dr. George J. Wilson, M.A., which states 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 upon 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 c-iAir^nt doctors in this or.untry, as well as in Germany and America." NEAYE'S FOOD has for some time been used in THE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL FAMILY, BEST AND CHEAPEST. SOLD IN 1-LB. PATENT AIR-TIGHT TINS.
