Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 January 1884 — Milk Diet. [ARTICLE]

Milk Diet.

Dr. Stuvtevant says that there is no arguing upon taste, as what may be found most palatable to one person may be little relished by another. To his* liking Ayrshire milk is the most palatable of—all milks, “but Jersey cream is more palatable to me tlian Ayrshire milk, and I prefer Jersey cream thinned .witty milk to anything in the milk line. One meal a day I make upon crackyrs and cream, and myself and fomily find milk one of the most satisfactory of foods. When we regard cheapness, palatabilitv, and completeness of milk stands pre-eminent among foods, and its'consumption could be profitably and pleasurably increased five-fold. While supplying a New England village with milk some years ago—a village of well-to-do-people —my surprise was very great to find that the average consumption was just one pint daily to the family, a quantity less than is consumed by one in my own family. But, to the public, milk seems to hold the phenomenal position of the cheapest of foods used as a luxury. ” >
