Horsford's Acid Phosphate is a solution of the phosphates of lime, magnesia, potash and iron with phosphoric acid, in such form as to be readily assimilated by the system. It is thus a true nerve and tissue food.
1 teaspoon Horsford's Acid Phosphate.
1 cup hot or cold water. Sugar.
Mix the Acid Phosphate with the water and sweeten with sugar, if desired.
If the above should seem too strong, or be found too stimulating, use one-half teaspoon of the Acid Phosphate.
Horsford's Acid Phosphate can be substituted for lemon juice in any of the acid drinks.

2 teaspoons sugar.
1 teaspoon Horsford's Acid Phosphate.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over hot water or in a double boiler. Add the Acid Phosphate. Cook without stirring until the whey separates. Strain through cheesecloth and add the sugar. If more acid is desired, add two or three drops of Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Serve hot or cold.
