But remember- Ovaltine results are obtained only with Ovaltine
In these nerve-wearing days there is noth- ing more essential than nerve-restoring sleep. Obviously no bedtime beverage can give you this kind of sleep unless it has de- finite nerve-restoring properties.
Long experience and scientific tests have. amply shown that 'Ovaltine' provides the essential nerve-building elements and gives outstanding beneficial results in all forms of sleeplessness.
'Ovaltine' is entirely free from drugs. Its exceptional nerve-restoring propertiesTM are largely derived from the new-laid eggs which are liberally used in its manufacture, The eggs which ‘Ovaltine', contains make it the complete tonic food beverage. Re- member: there is no substitute for. 'Ovaltine.'
