Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Intestinal Diseases of Infancy and Childhood: Physiology, Hygiene, Pathology and Therapeutics Condensed Milk; "Condensed milk" is not a uniform article, and its use precarious for that and other reasons. It ought not to be employed in the feeding of babies, when fair and unadulterated milk can be obtained. Other Milks; The best substitutes for woman's milk, within reach, are the milks of mares or asses. Goat's Milk; Goat's milk contains too much casein and fat, besides being otherwise incongruous. Fat; Skimmed milk obtained in the usual way by allowing the cream to rise in the course of time, is objectionable as a food for the young, because such milk is always more or less acid. Casein; The caseins of cow's and woman's milk differ both chemically and physiologically. The former is less digestible. There ought to be not more than one percent, of casein in every infant food. This is the principal object aimed at by Meigs, and Biedert, with their cream mixtures. Biedert's mixture is recommended mainly for temporary use. As a rule he recommends milk mixed, for the very young, with three or four parts of an indifferent food. Normal infant food contains a large percentage of undigested fat. Fat indiscriminately, or carelessly administered, acts as a purgative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
