Koumiss is a white, creamy fluid, prepared from pure fresh cow's milk, and possessing all its nutritive qualities, but in a form more easily assimilable. By its peculiar mode of preparation much of the preliminary work of digestion is performed.

Edwin M. Hale, M. D., Professor of Materia

Medica and Therapeutics, Chicago Medical College, says:

"As a medical man, I believe Koumiss is almost a nutritive panacea for that class of diseases characterized by failure of nutrition from mal-assimilation. It will remain upon the delicate stomach when nothing else will, and will supply the body with nutriment when all other foods fail. I know no medicine so efficient for sleeplessness, when arising from nervous irritation, debility, or deficient supply of blood in the brain, A goblet full taken at bed-time, and possibly another in the night, causes calm and refreshing sleep, leaving no malaise, or headache, or loss of appetite in the morning. In fact, in sickness or in health, I know of no beverage so well adapted to our comfort as Koumiss. I have known many little children given up to wasting diseases rapidly recover on the use of one bottle per day."
