Chapter 18

This is the Way to prepare the food for babies. One part of water is added to two parts of fresh milk, and to each half-pint of this mixture is added a fairly heaped-up teaspoonful of Natural Food; mix well, put on the fire, bring to the boil, and when cool the food is ready. All food should be given cool, or not warmer than the temperature of the human blood. In place of a thermometer, the tip of the little finger is a good tester; if the food does not feel hot to this test it will be of the right temperature. Sugar should not be added to the food, nor should tinned or condensed milk be ordinarily used. Only under exceptional circumstances should tinned milk be used, as on board ship, or when fresh milk cannot be had. Also quite as invaluable for nursing mothers and invalids.

Mothers should send a post-card for free booklet, "Healthy Babies and how to Rear Them," by T.R. Allinson, Ex-L.R.C.P.

"POWER"

THE IDEAL BREAKFAST FOOD

Mankind is eternally searching for the best form of food. The rational man wants something that will satisfy the cravings of hunger, be tasty, nourish every organ and tissue of the body, and not be too bulky. We have many foods that will fulfil one or two of these conditions, but it is rare to find all combined in one, as in "Power." Power is pleasant to the taste--nutritious and most _sustaining_. It contains everything necessary for supporting the human frame. It combines proteid elements for building up the muscles; hydro-carbons and carbo-hydrates for heating the body and suppyling the requisite energy for work; mineral matters for bone and teeth; and lastly, a certain amount of "filling" material to occupy the stomach and bowels, cause daily laxation, and so carry away the bile and various other digestive juices, the retention of which means disease.

It is made in the form of crisp pellets, gives exercise to the teeth, keeps them in good order, and stimulates the salivary glands. Further, Power is a Natural Corrective of inestimable worth. It may form the correct diet for young children and the aged. It is perfectly digestible and will prove a tower of strength and a standby under all conditions of life and work.

BRUNAK

_The HEALTH BEVERAGE_

"It is as refreshing as TEA, as tasty as COFFEE, as comforting as COCOA, and as harmless as WATER. Is as easily made as either of them, and can be taken at any meal or at supper-time. There is not a headache in a barrel of it, and no nervousness in a ton of it. May be drunk by young and old, weak and strong, the brainy man and the athlete; also by invalids, even in diabetes."

"All who suffer from Nervousness and Palpitation and Headache, Wakefulness, Loss of Memory, Low Spirits, Flushing, Trembling, and all who cannot or should not take tea, coffee, or cocoa, may take BRUNAK with perfect safety."

_The Allinson_ VEGEBUTTER

Not only Vegetarians but many others agree that the Allinson Vegebutter is the ideal fat for cooking purposes.

It does not contain animal fat whatever, being a pure vegetable product both healthful and economical. It is never rancid and is far more digestible than Cow Butter or any other animal Fat. For cooking and frying it is used in the same manner as Butter or Lard. For Pastry it should be softened slightly before rubbing into the flour, and a little more water used in making the paste than if Lard or Butter were being used.

PREPARED BARLEY an ideal DRINK

Allinson Prepared Barley may be eaten as porridge or pudding, and is much more nourishing than rice pudding for children, and more palatable.

It greatly improves both the flavour and nourishing qualities of Soup, Broth and Vegetable Stews, at little extra cost.

Especially suitable is it for making Barley Water, one of the most healthful and refreshing drinks for both summer and winter. Properly prepared Barley Water contains far more nourishment than Beef Tea, and during illness is the ideal drink, either plain or mixed with equal parts of milk.

_Finest_ NUT OIL

NUT OIL is far preferable to any other kind for use in salads, pastry, and for frying and cooking of every description.

"Salads are not used sufficiently by English people, for very few know the value of them. All may use these foods with benefit, and two dinners each week of them with wholemeal bread will prevent many a serious illness. They are natural food in a plain state, and supply the system with vegetable salts and acids in the best form. Salads should be eaten with wholemeal bread, and the QUANTITY OF OIL SHOULD BE ABOUT THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF THE VINEGAR USED."

Sold with Dr. Allinson's signature on every bottle at 1/-per bottle by all Health Food Stores, Grocers, etc.--
