Microscopical Examination. It must not be attempted to determine the quantity of fat in woman's milk by means of the microscope. The difficulties which present themselves here are even greater than in the case of cows' milk. The butter globules are scarce on the second day after delivery, while the granulated colostrum corpuscles predominate. Gradually the latter disappear while the former increase, until at about the sixth to eighth day after birth, they fill the whole field of vision quite densely. They appear of nearly uniform size, are round and highly refracting. The nourishing qualities of a milk depend on the quantity of fat globules, since milk sugar and albuminates in- crease in proportion. The presence and preponderance of very large butter globules indicates richness in fat. Such milk is more diffi- cult to digest. Milk which contains badly-formed globules is lack- ing in nourishing /. Woman's Milk.—The butter globules at the right upper part of the drawing appear irregularly shaped, produced by the action of acetic acid upon Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gerber, Nicholas.
