Full Cream Dried Milk requires to be mixed with about
seven parts by weight of water to give a mixture corresponding
to ordinary milk. Therefore, 5 ozs. of Dried Milk should reconstitute
to correspond to one quart of milk.
Dried Milk is cheaper than liquid milk, and it is sold by the
Council at cost price for the safeguarding of the health of
young children and nursing mothers.
Dried Milk can be obtained from the Town Hall, Stratford,
by Nursing and Expectant Mothers for their own consumption
or for the use of children under three years of age in accordance
with a Scale adopted by the Council. Dried Milk can also be
obtained from the Town Hall for the use of children between
three and five years of age, but in such case a medical certificate
must be supplied in respect of each child.
Any Nursing Mother experiencing difficulty in preparing
the milk should send a post-card to the Medical Officer of
Health at the Town Hall, Stratford, when a Health Visitor will
call and give all the information necessary.
