    calls for ability to produce a satisfactory food in a simple and inexpensive manner. This necessitates a knowledge of raw food materials, how they are produced, and the best means of preserving them from deterioration and in- fection by disease or other kinds of germs, and how these food materials, no matter what their source, may be best prepared for digestion by the infant. Before taking up methods of preparing food for in- fants, some space will be devoted to physiological chem- istry, physiology of young animals, comparison of the digestive systems and milks of various animals, the produc- tion of milk and other raw food products, and methods of analyzing and testing food materials.
