Iron in Milk.

Cow’s milk is almost at the bottom of the list of the food substances that contain iron. As it Is so important to infant life, Professor Bunge has- been led to experiment on animals to see in what proportion iron is present in the system at different ages. He- finds that the younger animals contain much more iron than adults, to a guinea pig or rabbit one hour old*, for instance, there is more than four times as much Sljon as In the same animals 2% months <4d, He Infers from this that a longcontinued exclusive milk diet is not for babies, but should be supplemented by wheat preparations.
