It is clean, sweet and pure—always ready for use. In sterilizing, to preserve its whole- someness, it is heated to a higher degree than ordinary pasteurization heat. This insures its safety as an infant’s food. Give your growing children pure, sweet and wholesome Carnation Milk. After several glasses, they will like the flavor.
