~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,115 ~ ~ ~
M. Tarnier, speaking before the Academy of Medicine on the artificial nourishment of the new born, reports that the milk of cows and goats, pure or diluted in different ways, that of condensed milk and Biedert's cream, have always given disastrous results at the Maternite in Paris, but that the mortality of the new born was considerably reduced from the day when ass's milk was introduced as food.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,116 ~ ~ ~
Ass's milk was given pure for six weeks or two months; then cow's milk diluted with one-half water until six months old, followed by pure cow's milk.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,119 ~ ~ ~
By the aid of ass's milk he saved a number of the little syphilitics.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,123 ~ ~ ~
Thirty-eight were suckled by an ass, of which 28 lived and 10 died; a mortality of 26.3 per cent.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,124 ~ ~ ~
Certainly these figures prove eloquently enough what chemical analysis shows, that ass's milk, being better borne by the infant's stomach, ought to have a composition resembling that of woman's milk.
