hen your Nerves are all on edge
HE busy mother only too frequently suffers from worn and ragged nerves. There with so many interruptions. The children, if they are healthy, are so 'full of energy and make such a deal of noise.
is so much to do
Your nerves become strained under the pressure. of household duties because the wastage of the nerve cells is not made good by sufficient restorative nourishment..
"Ovaltine" supplies that restorative material in a concentrated and easily digested form. This delicious beverage is prepared from malt, milk and eggs-Nature's, foods which are richest in nourishment. Instead of tea, coffee, etc... drink "Ovaltine" at breakfast, in the middle of the morning, and again before retiring. A rich reserve of vitality and energy will be created.

"Kestos, unlike majority of other bramières, is free from cumbersome material at the back, which is both unnecessary and uncomfortable. There are only two clastic straps which cross from one side to the other continuing round the body and fastening to two buttons in the front, giving comfort and unrestricted movement of the body. These straps are at tached to the brassière without stitching, by means of a specially designed buckle which permits of instant adjustment being made.'
