Encyclopedia entry (1928–1936)
Oak Groves, see Ukrainian resorts. Dubo-mixture (lac duplex bovinum-"double cow" milk), whole milk plus 17% cane sugar. Introduced into early childhood dietetics by Pirquet in Vienna. It has double ("duplex") caloric value of cow's milk: 100g = 134 calories; children accept it willingly due to its pleasant taste. The correlational relationships of nutritional factors in D.-c approach those of breast milk. Its distinctive significance is as a concentrated food. Suitable as an addition, especially to breast milk, when the latter is insufficient or in cases of anorexia, even for newborns (Schick). In children over one year old, it is used in infections and febrile conditions (Groer); applied in colitis (Groer), especially with the addition of lactic acid. Dubo-mixture is little suitable for long-term feeding; contraindicated in acute nutritional disorders.
