I know I know...just saying....
The recipe calls for 13 ounces of evaporated milk, 20 ounces of water, and 2 level teaspoons of Karo syrup to be heated together and divided into 6 bottles. The “special instructions” also say to give the baby water twice a day, to give 2 ounces of tea per day, to give vitamins starting at 10 days old, and to give orange juice diluted with water after only 3 weeks!
Similar recipes were given out in 1952 and another in 1945 (seen below).

I likely would nix the artificial sweetener......Also I wouldnt use true cow milk either. Too much hormones get stores in animal fats. Phyto-estrogen being the main one. Goats milk seems to be less of this, because goats eat like anything and everything. So they get different nutrients, and are not fed soys and grains which contain the estrogens. I can see using the Karo, because the babies need the sugars. Maybe there is something natural to use here? Agave? maybe? Maple syrup?? Just some thought. Not a "diss" at all.
When formula babies got constipated we were told to add Dark Karo syrup to the bottle. Did the trick.
We used /2 strength chamomile tea for constipation.
Sorry - typo =- 1/2 strength
