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.
