Has your baby
the
Virol smile?
Well nourished babies are happy babies: fretfulness is an indication of a faulty diet.
The Virol fed baby is known by its smile, because Virol contains those food elements
essential to growth and develop. ment in a form specially suited to baby's power of assimilation. Virol feeds baby's tissues and strengthens his power of resistance to disease.
More than 3,000 Infant Clinics use Virol regularly.
