Use Glaxo for cooking

With Glaxo in the house you are never without a supply of pure, fresh milk, milk that "keeps" in its tin, ready for use in any quantity at any time. Glaxo makes delicious coffee, cocoa and chocolate, milk-paldings, custards, blanc-manges, ice-cream, soups, sauces, and hundreds of appetising, nourishing dishes,

A lady from MHOW says: "I find that Glaxo and the many dishes made up from it are invaluable in a country Ike India where it is often 'difficult to get milk which * one can accept na pure."

Everything you can do with ordinary milk you can do better with Glaxo, which is prepared in an instant by the addition of hot, bald water.
