Babies are built!

Baby's body is built by food and by food alone. The child can only get out of its food what that food contains. If the food is ill-balanced the child's growth will be ill-balanced. If it lacks certain vital elements the body will be lacking in those vital elements that maintain health and strength.

In Virol, mothers have a preparation that is of immense value because it supplies what is so often lacking in the dict of young children. Virol is rich in all the elements necessary to build the body, and contains those vital principles that enable the system to transform food into living tissue.

Wonderful results have followed the use of Virol for delicate and wasted children, so that more than 3,000 Infant Clinics and Hospitals. are now regularly using it.

Try Virol yourself, and give it to ee your little onformat
