in fact, value for value, it is one of thod cheapest drinks and one of the most economical foods that can be obtained. A cup of hot Bovril costs less than a drink of whisky, and while giving a more genuine and lasting warmth than the latter, contains, in addition, the nutritive prin- ciples of beef worth many times its cost.
Old fashioned beef teas and meat ex- tracts, whether known as such, or disguised under more pretentions modern names contain none of the NUTRITIVE pro- perties of beef. Baron Liebig himself admitted this fact there is not a doctor to day disputes it. Used as a nourishment. Meat Extract is probably the most er pensive article one can buy. Bovril one of the cheapest.
