BOVRIL AT THE FRONT.
Bovril has played such a conspicuous part in South Africa that it forms no inconsiderable feature of the story. The "Lancet" has had frequent references in Bovril in the reports of the officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps. Nearly every newspaper correspondent han had to refer to Bovril to make his story complete. Rudyard Kipling and Baden-Powell have written their Bovril stories. Over 500 British hospitals and similar public institutionsTM use and prescribe Bavril, not beef tea, but Bovril.'
The reason is not far to seek. Bovril is a nourisher as well as a stimulant. It containe the albumen and fibrine, the sustaining properties of the beer. It is this fact, together with its absolute purity, that commends Bovril to physicians and scientists, and proves in practice what it demonstrates in analysis.
