Liebig's discoveries in extracting nutrition from meat had been published two decades before, but it was only in 1865 that he created the Liebig Extract of Meat Company in Fray Bentos Uruguay. Here he recommends a recipe for creating the first commercial baby formula - at the time, the mortality rate for non-breast fed babies was exceptionally high, and this was the first attempt at a remedy. It was popular but expensive - 27 varieties of formula had hit the market by 1883. Size: 8vo. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Cooking, Wine & Dining; Science & Technology. Inventory No: CAT000545.
