Most children suffer from some form of tooth trouble. This is simply the result of the habit of thorough mastication having been allowed to fall into abeyance by the practice of eating soft foods only. Your doctor and dentist will confirm that this had practice is respoa- sible for irregular, crowded and decayed teeth, and for ill-developed jaws and ugly mouths.
"Ovaltine" Rusks are so delightfully crisp and so de- liciously flavoured that children prefer them to soft bread and biscuits. They give the exercise the teeth need to ensure that these will be firm and sound and regularly spaced.
Remember, too, that "Ovaltine" Rusks provide whole- some and easily digested nourishment for building firm flesh and strong bones,
The finest whenten flour is used in the manufacture of these delicious rusks. The addition of "Ovaltine” adds to their nutritive value and renders them easy of digestion.
