Why malted milk was originated —because of the impossibility of obtaining good milk at all times and in all places REVIOUS to 1883 it was neces sary to add milk to all prepared foods for the infant and invalid, in order to make a properly balanced diet. But it was difficult and often impossible to obtain good milk in cities and tropical climates. The vital problem of how to supply a reliable milk for people of all ages in any climate that would be avail able at all times, was finally solved by HORLICK of Racine, Wis., U. S. A., after years of labor and ex periment. HORLICK discovered a process of reducing fresh milk by careful evapo r ation in a vacuum to a powder form, which contained all the valuable con stituents of fresh milk, would keep indefinitely in any climate, and yet be soluble in hot or cold water. This was the first time in history that milk was reduced to a powder form, soluble in water, retaining its natural qualities when dissolved, and with all the valuable Vit amines (which arc destroyed by ordinary cooking) preserved intact. To good rich milk HORLICK added the valuable extract of Malted Barley and Wheat, containing all the nutrition of these grains, and reduced them to a powder form, with perma nent keeping qualities, and soluble in water. It was found that by the action of the Malt ferments on the milk, its digestibility was markedly increased over ordinary milk, so as to render it easily assimilated by the weak stomach of the infant, the in valid, and the aged. This well balanced milk food was thus perfected, which a third of a century’s experience has amply proved capable in itself of supporting infant and adult life. This new milk food HORLICK named Malted Milk; it has proved a boon to thousands upon thousands, from infancy to old age, of every race and clime, and is to be found in every city in the civilized world. To the North and South Poles “Horlick's Matted Milk,” writes Captain Peary, “was always on the firing line; no field party was dispatched without it, and it never failed to make good prompt ly and satisfactorily.” Captain Amundsen, discoverer of the ' ^ South Pole, writes: “Our way ^ to the pole is littered with boxes V stamped ‘Horlick’s,’ giving full> ' evidence of the liberal use made . ^ of your splendid Malted Milk.” ^ Also taken by Steffansen and the Scott polar expedition.
