 It is, moreover, the best food for inf nts and 

 invalids generally, as it never turns acid on 

 the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a 

 eood liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish 

 for lunch and dinner, and restores the faculty 

 of digestion, and nervous and musculareuergy 

 to the most enfeebled. I" whooiiing cough, 

 measles, small-pox, and chickei' or wind pox, 

 it renders all medicine superfluous by re- 

 moving all inflammatory and feverish symp- 

 toms.
