I had an aunt who, as a child, was given Horlick's because she was allergic to cow's milk -- or so my father told me.  This would have been in the 1920s/1930s.  So, an early version of soy milk? We have one of her Horlick's bottles in our kitchen window.

Does anyone have a good idea (or even better, a reference) for what
Horlick's Malted Milk was used for in the early 20th century?  I'm mainly
interested in whether it was consumed as a beverage for all ages, a
beverage for children, or as an infant formula.
