artificial feeding. RICE, WHEAT, OR OAT WATER.--These are made from the rice, wheat, or oat flour in the same way as barley water described above. They may be made from the grains also, using the same proportions as in the making of barley water. IMPERIAL GRANUM.--This is prepared in the same way as the barley flour above described. ALBUMEN WATER.--Take half a pint of cold water, the white of one fresh egg, a pinch of salt, and a teaspoonful of brandy, shake and feed from a spoon or from a bottle. This is frequently used in cases of vomiting, or in irritable stomachs. It is often retained when all other food is rejected. DRIED BREAD.--Cut either stale or fresh bread into thin slices and place in the open oven. When it is dried and crisp but not browned it may be given to children in preference to crackers. CODDLED EGG.--A fresh egg with the shell intact is placed in boiling water which is immediately removed from the fire. The egg is allowed to remain in the water for eight minutes when it is ready for use. The white only should be used if the digestion is poor. ARTIFICIAL FEEDING CHAPTER XIX ARTIFICIAL FEEDING Elementary Principles of Milk Modification--The Secret of the Efficiency of Mother's Milk--Two Important Factors in Successful Artificial Feeding--Every Child is a Problem in Itself--Proprietary Foods of Little Value as Infant Foods--Their Value is in the Milk Added to Them--The Credit Belongs to the Cow--Difference Between Human and Cow's Milk--What "Top-milk Feeding" Means--Utensils Necessary for Home Modification of Milk--Artificial Feeding from Birth to the Twelfth Month--How to Measure Top-milk--Easy Bottle-feeding Method--Condensed Milk Feeding--Objections to Condensed Milk Feeding. ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF MILK MODIFICATION.--Mothers who have to raise their children on artificial food should understand the elementary principles of milk modification. They should know, for example, that the one object of milk modification is to render it as nearly an exact substitute for mother's milk, according to the age of the child, as is possible. If we could do this with scientific exactness, artificial feeding would be a simple process. We cannot, however; nor has there ever been devised a method by which we may hope successfully to duplicate mother's milk. It is a comparatively simple matter for the efficient chemist to ana
