ILK being furnished by nntiirfi as the only food for the young miimiudl, dur- ing a certuiu period of its existence, contains all the elements necessary for the nutrition and growth of the body. Out of the caseine of milk are formed the al- bumen and fibrine of the blood, and the pro- teinaceous and gelatinous tissues. The but- ter serves for the formation of the fat, and contributes, with the sugar, to sujiport the animal heat by yielding carbon and hydrogen to be burnt iu the lungs.
