"HERE are two outstanding advantages of
‘OVALTINE' which are of vital im portance to you now:-
1. 'Ovaltine' contains an unequalled
wealth of nerve-building nutriment. 2. 'Ovaltine' possesses special pro- perties which make it the best bed- time beverage for ensuring natural, restorative sleep,
A 3-year series of scientific tests on sleep showed that 'OVALTINE,' taken regularly at bedtime, cut down tossing and turning and gave a feeling of being "better rested" in the morning. Many other tests have proved the exceptional nerve-restoring properties of “OVÁLTINE.' It is entirely free from drugs. In these days of abnormal nerve - strain ‘OVALTINE' should be your constant stand- by. It is supremely rich in lecithin-a vital nerve-building element derived from the new- laid eggs used in its manufacture. No nerve food is complete without lecithin.

‘OVALTINE' is a complete food which, by, itself, will sustain strength and stamina over prolonged periods. It can be eaten dry if desired. But be sure it is 'OVALTINE.' Although imitations are made to look like 'OVALTINE' there are very important differences.
Ovaltine' does not contain any Household Sugar. Furthermore it does not contain Starch. Nor does it contain a large percentage of Cocoa.
If sugar is required for sweetening, you can always add it to 'OVALTINE' yourself. This is obviously the most satisfactory and economical way. The supreme economy of ‘OVALTINE' is evident in the fact that the small tin will make as many, as. 24 cupfuls of concentrated nourishment.
In these days you must get the best possible value for the money you spend. That is why you should insist on 'OVÄLTINE. It stands alone for quality, value and economy.
