DOOTORS AND SCIENTISTS USE HORLICKS
IN HOSPITAL TESTS
RECENTLY tests were made in a great

This acid waste kept the brain and nerves 'on edge' all night even though the rest of the body was sound asleep.
But when Horlicks was given to these people last thing at night, this excess acld waste was completely neutralised. They woke refreshed, with increased energy and vitality
