![FORMULA. FOR FEEDING. Formula No. 1. Upper J ounce from each of two quart bottles of milk.* 1st, 2d, and 3d Milk sugar, 6 teaspoons level full, days: Cold unboiled filtered water, 4 ounces. Lime water, 1 ounce. Ten bottles. Feed every two hours. Formula No. 2. Upper I 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7 th days: ounce from each of three quart bottles of milk. Milk sugar, 6 teaspoons level full. Cold unboiled filtered water, 6J ounces. Lime water, 2 ounces. Ten bottles of one ounce. Feed every two hours. Formula No. 3. Upper 1 ounee from each of three quart bottles of milk. (Use 2^ of the 3 ounces in preparing food.) Second week: Milk sugar, 6 teaspoons level full. Cold unboiled filtered water, 10 ounces. Lime water, 2i^ ounces. Ten bottles of 1 ^ ounces. Feed every two hours. Many do no take entire quantity; do not urge. One and sometimes two bottles may be omitted at night. * The milk must have been put in the regulation quart glass milk jars of commerce immediately after milking, and must have been kept standing upright on ice at least sixteen hours from the time of milking. In Metropolitan centres the quart bottles of milk must have been kept standing upright on ice at least six hours after they are received in the nursery before removing the top ^ ounce of cream. The top ^ ounce can only be secured with the fceeZ-shaped half-ounce dipper of the Noel Nur.s- ery Table. A ^a<-bottom dipper defeats the purpose of a cream dipper, i.e., feathery proteid flocks. Dissolve the milk sugar in the cold water; mix the sugar solution and the cream thoroughly together, and then add the lime water. Lime water is added in furtherance of emulsification. As an ally to the motor function of the stomach in its passage of proteid through the con- stricted pylorus, lime water cannot be substituted for. Magnesia and soda for this facility are profitless. As to rendering food alkaline or amphoteric it is empty talk. Keep the feeding bottles in the refrigerator until used. At the time of feeding, heat the food to a temperature of 98^° to 100° T, [8]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b22480092_0010.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
