The Stomach was made for a purpose—a food
wholly digested was not what the Almighty
intended—
No Child Can Live
upon these thin, slippery Foods, but must have
something to satisfy the stomach in order to
give development and growth.
Ridge's Food has all the requirements; but it does need boiling, and care after boiling, and a Mother that is not ready to take this care is a very queer Mother. We have never known, in our 30 years of experience, of a single case of indigestion, loss of sleep, skin disease, or scurvy while faithfully using Ridge's Food.
The stomach requires action—it is so constructed that from the very first it is made for action. With the youngest infant the quantity of nourishment from the natural food (the mother's milk) is much less, because the stomach is incapable of taking care of as much as it can later, but at the same time action is going on, and nature does its work as the child grows, so it can take stronger food; therefore, the special directions which have been the result of experience so adapt themselves to the age of the child as to fulfill those requirements.
Little babies cannot be successfully fed daily by pouring hot water on something that makes food. It must be properly cooked, and properly prepared especially for the babies' delicate stomachs, if you wish to save them.
It has been said by some that children could not assimilate starch, yet we believe it is a proper carbon to have in food. The only carbon in many foods is sugar. Scurvy is not uncommonly a result of the continued use of food not sufficiently nutritious. The disfiguring eczema seen on the face and scalp is a result from the same cause.
Ridge's Food is so prepared that only the normal action of the stomach is required to produce healthful growth and development, and the result has been good digestion, sound, healthy bodies, good teeth, strong, straight limbs, and a well-formed brain; the child becomes a model of healthful strength and childish beauty when fed on Ridge's Food, properly prepared—and its long continuance does not produce Scurvy and skin disease in its many forms. Do not take our word for it, but please make the test yourself. It has stood the test for 30 years, and abundant testimonials are at hand to prove our assertions.
