In 1835 Newton originated the vac- uum process for condensing milk with cane sugar to a semi-liquid form. In 1883 Horlick at Racine,Wis., dis- covered how to reduce milk to a dry powder form with extract of malted grains, without cane sugar. This product HORLICK named Malted Milk. (Name since copied by others.) Its nutritive value, digestibility and ease of preparation (by simply stirring in water) and the fact that it keeps in any climate, has proved of muchvalue to mankind as an ideal food-drink from infancy to old age.
