Allenburys Malted Rusks are per- fect for all little people who are just growing their first teeth. Their crispness encourages Baby to chew, yet they soften before they can hurt his gums. They contain Bone-Form- Ing Vitamin, D.

Allenburys Ruska, are carefully packed, so as to retain their crispness and flavour as when freshly baked. Besides mechanically aiding the cut- ting of the milk teeth they provide the more solid--nourishment needed after the milk diet stage of feeding.
