ACTION TO BE TAKEN?

The question now arises: Is the Graf Spee incident a violation of the spirit of this?

Many other tests have proved the exceptional nerve-restoring properties ‘OVALTINE.' It is entirely free from drugs. In these days of abnormal nerve - strain ‘OVALTINE' should be your constant stand- by.
