To each modification, cream, sugar and salt are added in
proper quantities; cane sugar is used in all the modifications,
except the first, which contains milk sugar.
The bottled milk is placed in the sterilising chamber, steam
is injected into the chamber, and the temperature raised to
212° F., and maintained there for about ten minutes. The
milk is then removed from the steriliser and cooled down in a
cooling tank. It is then ready for distribution. In addition to
the central depot at 28 York Road, distributing stations have
been opened at the Town Hall, and at Lurline Gardens Library.
The demand for the milk has always been good, and in the
summer of 1904 it was so great that the resources of the dep6t
were unable to cope with it. As many as 400 infants have been
supplied daily with the milk.
The following leaflet is given to the mothers of infants fed
from the dep6t :—
