Ovaltine is invaluable to me says Patricia Hilliard
ELICIOUS ‘Ovaltino' is the world's
Dbest nightcap. Countless thousands
of people in every walk of life rely on a bedtime cup of 'Ovaltine' to bring them sound, health-giving sleep every night,
Here, for example, is a letter in which Patricia Hilliard-one of the many 'stars' who drink ‘Ovaltine' regularly- tells how 'Ovaltine' helps her to sleep soundly and keep fresh and fit for her work. She writes:
"Ever since the day I first faced the footlights I have taken 'Ovaltine' regularly, and I've never missed a good night's sleep. It is invaluable. to me and essential to my work."
You, too, can enjoy deep, restful sleep every night if you drink a cup of deli. cious "Ovaltino' just before you go to bed. 'Ovalting' not only soothes the nerves and makes sound sleep sure......... but It builds up new energy and vitality while you sleep.
Scientifically prepared from the finest of Nature's protective and restorative foods. 'Ovaltine' is supremely rich in all the nutritive elements needed to maintain radiant health and vitality, But remember-it must be 'Ovaltine.' There is nothing like it. For quality, health-giving value and economy. 'Ovaltine' stands in a class alone,
