SIR,—Many people read Leslie Adrian with delight and for enlightenment,
but when nonsense obtrudes reply is needed. It would have been wiser to check the fate of the National Dried Milk issued before condemning it so roundly. At the children's hospital where I trained it was used for all babies—and as far as I know, still is. As a children's specialist my- self I use it exclusively on my wards—successfully and without trouble. On admission we take all bottle- fed babies off the expensive dried feeds which adver- tisement has battered their mothers into accepting as 'better.' We are satisfied with our recovery rate.
Would Leslie Adrian please stick to things that he/she understands? And could we have a report about the costs and accurately evaluated results of the expensive alternatives?—Yours faithfully, near Wigan, Lanes
