EVAPORATED CREAM
In malting St. Charles Cream w» do not
use sugar. We take the best of milk and
reduce it to the consistency of a very rich
cream by evaporation. We do Hot 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 ■
cookiug. St Charles Cream, when diluted
with pure water, is humanised milk.
