...POWDERED MILK FORMULAS are nourishing and simple enough to concoct:one cup of powder, one quart of water, and the bottles are ready. But through misguided generosity, mothers sometimes mix a thick formula that is far too concentrated. Instead of more nourishment, the infant gets an indigestible lump of protein in his stomach and may suffer nausea and diarrhea.

More than just a new bottle, Beniflex is an entire infant-feeding system. Everything about it is presterilized and disposable after a single use. Ready-to-use formulas supplied in quart cans are drained into the bottle through a plastic tube inserted by needle into the nipple -a process that takes only 15 seconds, and can be done right in the nursery.

To buy and prepare Beniflex costs only 14? per unit, about the same as present...

One of the primary needs, if we are to save the federal system and permit the states the revenue to meet their own obligations, is the need for a fresh look...
...Robbins writes with a spade, and of course he heaped Carpetbaggers with sex; a choice passage follows a call girl as she shaves a particularly hairy client with a straight razor and jasmine soap, dumps him into a jumbo bathtub, pours champagne over him as if he were a quart of fresh strawberries, then jumps in to help him splash...
