now measure
out eight ounces of water and allow it to come to a boil in the inner
pan of the double boiler, into which the thin paste is stirred until
it comes to a boil. After boiling for twenty minutes, remeasure in the
measuring glass and what water has been lost by evaporation must be
added to complete accurately the prescription requirement of eight
ounces; this is now added to the other ingredients of the
prescription.

TABLE FOR INFANT FEEDING

We now offer a monthly schedule--a table which is the result of our
experience in feeding hundreds of babies in various sections of
Chicago. It is not a schedule for the sick baby, but it is a carefully
tabulated outline for the normal, healthy, average child ranging from
one week to one year in age. In offering this table we remind the
mother, if the baby is six months old and not doing well on the food
it is getting and a change is desired by both mother and physician,
that it is far better to begin with the second or third month's
prescription and quickly work up to the sixth month's. This change may
often be accomplished in two or three days.

In all large cities there are to be found milk laboratories which make
it their business to fill prescriptions for the modification of milk
under the direction of baby specialists. This milk can be absolutely
relied upon. In specialized diet kitchens in many large hospitals,
these feeding prescriptions also may be filled.
