In 1867 a physician persuaded Henri Nestlé to give his product to an infant who was very ill — he had been born prematurely and was refusing his mother's milk and all other types of nourishment. Nestlé's new food worked, and the boy survived. From the very beginning, Nestlé's product was never intended as a competitor for mother's milk. In 1869, he wrote: "During the first months, the mother's milk will always be the most natural nutrient, and every mother able to do so should herself suckle her children." The factors that made baby foods success in the early days of the Nestlé company — quality and superior nutritional value — are still as valid today for the wide range of infant formula, cereals and baby food made by Nestlé. http://www.nestle.com/Our_Brands/Baby_Foods/Overview/Overview+Baby+Food.htm Sep 03 06, 2:22 PM

Henri Nestlé came up with a concoction he called farine lactée, based, as he put it, on “wholesome Swiss milk and a cereal component baked by a special process of my invention”. In 1867, he fed this to a premature baby boy whose mother was dangerously ill herself; the boy survived, and Nestlé’s reputation skyrocketed. The following year he opened an office in London to cope with the quantity of orders, and within five years was exporting to South America and Australia. In 1874 he sold his company for a million francs. Nestlé bought out Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk in 1905, and chocolate makers Peter, Cailler and Kohler – pioneers in making milk chocolate – in 1929; although it had always concentrated on milk alone, it started to diversify. http://switzerland.isyours.com/e/guide/lake_geneva/nestle.html Sep 03 06, 3:40 PM

Did the artist Henri Mattise go blind in later life? Who has on his gravestone, "See, told you I was ill," and very nearly had, "Underneath this sod lies another one"? In the event of his milestone birthday, a certain 19th century King once offered a monetary accolade to anyone who could solve this specific conundrum. It was subsequently found to be ill-written and thus unsolvable. The award was given to the man who recognized this. What was the conundrum, who won the prize, and what ultimately did all this lead to the beginning of? Who was Vincent Lingiari and what did he do?
