Mellin's Food
A Milk Modifier
Cow's milk contains all the nutritive
elements necessary for maintenance and
growth. If these elements were in the
same proportions as in human milk and
of the same character and as digestible,
cow's milk as delivered to the household
could be substituted for human milk with
the assurance of successful results and the
matter of the artificial feeding of infants
would need no further thought.
However, while all the essential food
elements are present in cow's milk, there
is a marked difference in relative proportions,
in physical character and in digestibility
as compared with human milk and
for these reasons cow's milk must be
modified before it can be applied successfully
as nourishment for the bottle-fed
baby..
The purpose of Mellin's Food is to
adjust these differences and this purpose
is accomplished by following the plan
which directs the use of Mellin's Food as
a milk modifier.
The plan is a practical one, for the
entire clay's feeding may be prepared in a
few minutes by simply dissolving Mellin's
Food in water and then adding milk.
