PRODUCTION OF WALKER-GORDON MILK. 131 



SIGNIFICANCE AND PRODUCTION OF WALKER-GORDON 



MILK. 



IRA O. JOHNSON. 



The name Walker-Gordon stands for purity and nniforniity. The sys- 

 tem of Walker-Gordon laboratories, which was begun in Boston in 1891, 

 has been extended into eighteen cities. 



This represents its local and direct work. but. indirectly, almost 

 every important place in the United States and many foreign countries 

 have been reached with its products. 



The aim of these Walker-Gordon establishments is always the same, and 

 the management similar, so that, whether in those owned by the parent 

 company, or licensed under it. the physician using the facilities, or the 

 consumer buying the milk, will tind identity, both in methods and pro- 

 duct, from one end of the country to the other. 



The specific work of these establishments is to provide a place and 

 a way by means of which the physician may conduct the scientific feed- 

 ing of his patients in exact accordance with his own theory and prac- 

 tice, and at the same time have the guarantee and the practical cer- 

 tainty of obtaining the best attainable materials for his purpose. The 

 scientific feeding of infants and invalids is the chief reason for the 

 existence of Walker-Gordon laboratories, and the favorable testimony of 

 those who have written recognized works upon the subject of infant 

 feeding during the past ten years is the very best evidence that they 

 have been justified in their existence, and that it is a duty to extend 

 their work in all the ways and places where it can expect to receive a 

 reasonable patronage from the profession. 



The Walker-Gordon laboratories are all producers and venders of 

 milk and cream, for the table, for the nursery, for the home modifier, 

 for the hospital and for the traveler. 



The laboratory farms produce, upon a large scale, the only practically 

 perfect milk for the ordinary and also for the exceptional uses of daily 

 life. . 



Walker-Gordon milk and cream are the best products of the best 

 scientific dairying, and should not be mistaken for anything but what 

 they really are, namely : The purest and cleanest, unadulterated and 

 unchanged milk and cream, direct from the best and healthiest cows. 



It is quite necessary that this should be stated emphatically and a 

 clear distinction drawn, between two entirely diff'erent branches of the 

 business. 



The Walker-Gordon laboratories are. primarily, milk modifiers, milk 

 pasteurizers, milk sterilizers, and they do anything and ev^erything that 

 a physician may order done with milk, cereals, sugar or with any other 

 materials used in the feeding by prescription. These methods and pro- 

 cesses are known under the general term
