Ovaltine is a complete and perfect food-the result of prolonged research by recognised experts in the science of nutrition.

Ovaltine is prepared by exclusive scientific processes--which cannot be copied from special barley malt extract, creamy milk and new-laid eggs from the world-famous Ovaltine Farms.

Eggs are liberally used in Ovaltine, adding nutritive, nerve- building and sustaining properties which cannot be obtained in any other way.

Ovaltine is a balanced combination of health-giving and energising food elements which build up body, brain and

nerves,

And remember:

By reason of its unique composition, exceptionally high quality, and the scientific processes employed, the manu- facture of Ovaltine involves a large expenditure. Neverthe- lens, because of its unrivalled popularity and huge world- wide demand it is available at a price which makes it the most economical in use.

All in the Interests of "Ovaltine' Quality

Examples of the unique measures adopted to ensure the supreme quality of Ovaltine are the Ovaltine Dairy and Egg Farms—which are among the most up-to-date farms in existence. The air. conditioned Ovaltine Factory, too, is an outstanding `ez- ample of hygienic and scien» tifio efficiency.
