For Baby when Teething
Allenburys
RUSKS
Lightly malted delightfully crip and wholesome, the "Alimburys" Rusks are designed to help baby when teething. Children nibble them instinctively, so that the cutting of the milk-treth is akded and the troublesome and painful process shortened. Moreover, the Rusks soften in the little ene mouth, and, being safely and easily swallowed, provide a variation in dietary much needed at this period. They give baby the gratification which comes from the first experience of swallowing solid food. Allen & Hanburys Ltd., 40 Canton Road, Shanghai
