The Restorative Properties
în Ovaltine make Ovaltine Sleep the Best Kind of Sleep
ONE of the most important requirements for your well-being to-day is sleep of the right kind. If your hours of sleep are re- stricted, you should ensure that every min- ute of sleep contributes to, the restoration and revitalisation of body, brain and nerves.. Countless thousands of men and women throughout the Colony are deriving the ut- most benefit from their sleeping hours by making 'OVALTINE' their regular bedtime beverage. Delicious 'OVALTINE" has out. standing advantages for this purpose.
Although entirely free from drugs, the special properties of 'OVALTINE help to reileve nerve-tension and induce sleep quickly,
"OVALTINE" provides valuable restorative nutriment which re- pairs and rebuilds the worn. cells and tissues of the body.
"OVALTINE supplies, revitalising nourishment which re-creates aʻrength and energy "while you sleep, so that you awake com- pletely refreshed, invigorated and "fit-for-service.”
Obviously no food beverage can give you the right kind of restorative steep unless re- vitalising elements are obtained from its in= gredients. It is important to note, however, that the exceptional restorative properties of 'OVALTINE" are due not only to the nature and high quality of its constituents, but also to the proportions in which they are used. and the exclusive scientifle methods of pre paration,
For all these reasons, make OVALTINE' your regular bedtime beverage. Remember that 'OVALTINE" also has the advantage of be- ing most economical in use and very easy to prepare. It milk is not available water can be used, as 'OVALTINE itself contains milk: (If making with water only, use rather more than the normal quantity of ‘OVALTINE") Note also that “OVALTINE" is naturally sweet and the addition of sugar is unnecessary, Distributora, JARDINE, MATHESON & co., LTD.,
