 cines, I should unhesitatingly try it with the first, be-

 the medicines without regulating the diet."

 on a number of sick and of healthly infants, reaching 

 surprising results. In cases of summer diarrhea and 

 cholera infantum, even where the Soxhlet milk had 

 been given without avail, an immediate improvement

 infants' milk did not agree at all, or even where it 

 did not well agree with an infant, have not come 

 under my observation." 



Professor Escherich says : " It is a well known fact 

 that, even with the aid of the most perfect hygienic 

 conditions, infants with satisfactory digestion, but not 

 brought up on the breast, do not show the same 

 resistancy against sickness that breast-infants do. It
