 b This milk is popularly known as the "Senorita brand." 



The milks which have been tabulated above fall into three principal 

 classes; one of partially concentrated milks, sterilized, bottled, shipped and 

 kept in cold storage, another of pure cows' milk canned without any other 

 alteration than simple sterilization by heat, and the last, of the various 

 types of condensed milks, including the so-called evaporated creams. 



1. Cold storage milk. — The only brand of this milk on the market is 

 the "Australian" which, as the name implies, is brought from Australia 

 and the analyses of samples are given in Table No. 11. It is a con- 

 centrated milk and the three samples analyzed contained a compound of 

 boron. 



2. Sterilized, uncondensed milks are sold in Manila in five brands, and 

 analyses of samples of all are given in Tables Nos. 11 and 15 and the ac- 

 companying footnote, 2 These are all free from adulterants and pre- 

 servatives and, as may be noted from the table, they are without exception 

 excellent, mixed milks. To judge from the homogeneous distribution 

 of the fat and from other considerations it is probable that at least a 

 portion of each of them consists of goat's milk. The proteid constituents 

 of this type have not as yet been carefully examined, but preliminary 

 experiments make it appear probable that the case'inogen radical is con- 

 siderably in excess of the normal amount in human milks, as is true in 

 all other milks from the lower animals. However this may be, they are, 

 when properly modified upon a percentage basis, very satisfactory as 

 infant foods, giving as good results as may be obtained with any sterilized 

 food. If one of the three brands of pure canned cream on the market
