    Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Days: Upper J ounce from each of three quart bottles of milk. Milk sugar, 6 teaspoons level full. Cold unboiled filtered water, 6$ ounces. Lime water, 2 ounces. Ten bottles of one ounce. Feed every two hours. Formula No. 3 Second Week: Upper 1 ounce from each of three quart bottles of milk (Use 2\ of the 3 ounces in preparing food.) Milk sugar, 6 teaspoons level full. Cold unboiled filtered water, 10 ounces. Lime water, 2 J ounces. Ten bottles of ij ounces. Feed every two hours. Many do not take entire quantity; do not urge. One, and sometimes two, bottles may be omitted at night. Formula No. 4 Third Week: Upper 1 \ ounces from each of three quart bottles of milk. (Use 4 of the 4J ounces in preparing food.) Milk sugar, 6 teaspoons level full. Cold unboiled filtered water, 12 ounces. Lime water, 4 ounces. Eight bottles of 2 ounces. Feed every 2J hours. Some children require 2t ounces; therefore the formula for 20 ounces. Formula No. 5 Fourth Week: Upper 2 ounces from each of three quart bottles of milk. (Use 5 of the 6 ounces in preparing food.) Milk sugar, 6 teaspoons level full. Cold unboiled filtered water, 11 ounces. Lime water, 4 ounces. Eight bottles of 2 \ ounces. Feed every 2 \ hours. \ ounce can only be secured with the fer/-shaped half-ounce dipper of the Noel Nurserv Table. Other dippers defeat 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 is furtherance of emulsification. As an ally to the motor function of the stomach in its passage of proteid through the constricted pylorus, lime water cannot be substituted for. Keep the feeding bottles in the refrigerator until used. At the time of feeding, heat the food to a temperature of 98^° to ioo° F. [16]
