DIET FOR FINICKY CHILDREN
It isn't always naughtiness that makes children go off their food. It is more often "Nerviness," tired digestion and the need for the stimulus of a new, palatable easily digested food.
Fintoky children respond very readily to Horlicks. They love its flavour, it keeps them regular and provides abundant nourish- ment in a form that the most queasy stomach can take.
Soon you notice a wonderful change. The little body begins to fill out, colour returns to the cheeks, peevishness goes and ap- petite becomes keen. Horlicks gives a child all the
energy needed for rapid growth and strenuous play.
