By rearing many infants from birthon undiluted sterilized milk, (who used apparatus similar tothat shown here) proved that prolonged boiling renders the milkeasily digestible. He also showed that where separate bottles wereused, as in this method, there is no risk of producing scurvy, evenwhere the milk is boiled for forty minutes, if milk of good quality beused (p. 74). By sterilization the taste of milk is altered, but this practically nevercauses any difficulty in the case of infants under six months of age. Scalding.—For the poor, who have neither the money to buyapparatus, nor the time to spend upon preparing milk carefully, scald-ing is a satisfactory solution of the difficulty. By this is meant that. Fig. 7.—Apparatus for Sterilizingor Pasteurizing Milk in separatebottles. The one shown here holdsseven four-onnce bottles, supplied withrubber caps which seal the bottles oncooling. With it are provided bottles,caps, teats, thermometer, brush, andfood-warmer. (Hawksley, Oxford St.,London, W.) ARTIFICIAL FEEDING 33 the milk is heated until bubbles begin to rise to the surface, whichoccurs at about 1700 F. Scalding may be done by placing the milkin a saucepan and keeping it at this degree of heat for five better method consists in placing the vessel containing the milk(if in separate bottles, so much the better) in a saucepan of water,and boiling the water for five minutes. Here, again, the process ofcooling should be conducted rapidly. Frequency of Feeding.—The number of feeds in the twenty-fourhours, and the intervals to be observed between them, are the same inthe case of hand-fed children as in those at the breast.
