Mellin's Food Company was a maker of Mellin's Food for Infants and Invalids in Boston, Massachusetts.
History
The company started when the English food chemist Gustav Mellin developed an infant formula in 1866. It wasn't a total nutritional supplement, the powder was diluted with cow's milk and water and was called a "milk modifier". It was a "soluble, dry extract of wheat, malted barley and bicarbonate of potassium."
