The Allinson NATURAL FOOD for Babies & Invalids

A Note by Dr. ALLINSON, Ex-L.R.C.P, Edin.

No artificial food, nor the milk of any other animal, is equal to a
mother's milk. Usually the milk of the cow is given as a substitute
for mother's milk. It takes the place of mother's milk fairly well,
but it has its drawbacks, the chief one is that it curdles in heavy
cheese-like masses, which lie heavy on the stomach, are long in
digesting, and cause discomfort. The aim of the scientific and
practical physician is to prevent this heavy curdling while allowing
cow's milk to be taken.

Some Doctors Advise lime water to be added to the milk; this causes
the milk to curdle in flakes, but it hinders digestion, gives rise to
constipation, and may lead to stone in the bladder. Some advise
barley, wheat, oatmeal or rice Water, etc., to be added to the cow's
milk. These often answer the purpose, but they have their drawbacks.
They all are a trouble to make; barley and rice water are
constipating, and oatmeal water is heating.

Knowing these Drawbacks I invented Natural Food. This, when added to
cow's milk, will prevent it curdling in heavy masses, is easily
prepared, and besides this, it contains all that the growing baby
needs, and thus is a valuable addition to the milk; it nourishes all
the organs but clogs none. Nine-tenths of the foods made for babies
are made on wrong lines. They either contain too much sugar, or they
are too starchy, or they are deficient in bone-forming materials, or
in laxative principles, or else they contain injurious chemicals.

When Inventing Natural Food I tried to overcome every obstacle and
make it the best Food for infants in the market; the success that has
followed its use justifies me in saying that it is second to none. I
am a practical physician, and it is my boast that I rarely lose a
child in illness, and when babies are reared as I advise they are
usually the admiration of all, and live to be a source of delight to
their parents.

This is the Way to prepare the food for babies. One part of water is
added to two parts of fresh milk, and to each half-pint of this
mixture is added a fairly heaped-up teaspoonful of Natural Food; mix
well, put on the fire, bring to the boil, and when cool the food is
ready. All food should be given cool, or not warmer than the
temperature of the human bloo
