Delicious crisp - crunchy no wonder. “OVALTINE' RUSES are such a favourite with children. A teething time, they give just the right kind of biting exercise needed to help little teeth easily and comfortably through the gums. And when the teeth
have come, OVALTINE HUSKS keep them sound and firm and ensure correct formation of the mouth. Made from purest unbleached wheaten flour, they contain the necessary vitamins and other vital nutritive elements. A proportion of “UVALTINE" the renowned
tonic beverage is added to make them still more nourishing, delicious and easy to digest.
