In making St. Charles Cream we do not

reduce it to the consistency of a very rich
cream by evaporation. We do not use
acids or other antiseptics, but by the
scientific application of heat we‘destroy
all disease germs and all possibility of
fermentation. This is the reason why
St. Charles Cream keeps indefinitely and
will not curdle either in digestion or in
