"Good for your Toofies"
When Baby's first tiny tooth is due to appear, there is nothing that will delight him more or help him so much as crisp, delicious 'OVALTINE' Rusks.
Baked to just the right degree of firmness for Baby to bite and crunch, 'OVALTINE' Rusks give just the assistance necessary to bring each little tooth easily and comfortably through the gums. This biting exercise also helps to keep the teeth sound and healthy, and to encourage the correct formation of the mouth.
'OVALTINĖ Rusks are made from the purest unbleached wheaten Flour in which all the valuable, nutritive elements are retained.
