Bournvitality
WHAT IS IT?
Bourn-vitality is a state in which a
person's body, mind and nerves are strengthened to resist undue fatigue.
HOW DOES IT ACT? Bourn-vitality produces abundant energy arising from sound sleep and properly digested nourishment. The energy thus gene- rated is normally maintained throughout the day, and is accompanied by an agreeable feeling of cheerfulness.
HOW DOES ONE GET IT? Bourn-vitality is acquired
and kept going by the action of taking a glass or cup of Cadbury's Bourn-vita every night before going to bed. In this product are the combined virtues of eggs, malt, milk and chocolate, the splendid nourishment of which is presented in a tempting and highly digestible form.
