Through infancy and childhood 'Ovaltine' Rusks help more than anything else to ensure that baby teeth grow strong, sound and beautifully regular.
'Ovaltine' Rusks are highly nourishing, too, because they are made from the purest unbleached wheaten flour combined with health- giving 'Ovaltine'.
Every child should have 'Ovaltine' Rusks from the time the first little tooth is due. They provide the biting exercise which en- sures easy, comfortable teething. This exercise also keeps the teeth firm and healthy, and encourages the correct formation of the mouth.
