Does Baby fret?
In the majority of cases it is a question of food. Either the diet of the mother who is feeding her child is insufficient or unsuited to her peculiar reed, in which case Viral will help her, or the food substituted for that living liquid is unsuitable to the needs of the child.
More than 3,000 Infant Welfare Clinics and Public Health Authori- ties are meeting these difficulties by supplying Virol the food specially designed by Medical Experts to meet the needs of growth and development. Virol contains those vital principles that enable the body to transform food into living tissue. Virol is such a palatable and delicata preparation that it is assimilated by the weakest digastion.
Try Virol for yourself and for your little one.
