Why Ovaltine

is the Best "STAND-BY" Food Beverage

THE CUP THAT CHEERS IN ANY EMERGENCY

'Ovaltine' is a scientifically complete and perfect tonic food. Prepared from Nature's finest foods, it provides concentrated nourishment to every cell and tissue of body, brain and nerves. In fact, 'Ovaltine' will, by itself, sustain strength and stamina. Its pre-eminent nerve- restoring properties are largely derived from the new-laid eggs liberally used in its manufac- ture. The eggs which ‘Ovaltine' 'contains 'make it the complete

tonic food beverage..

Moreover, 'Ovaltine' is easily and quickly prepared. It can also be eaten dry if required.

For these reasons make ‘Oval- tine' your constant stand-by as an ever-ready source of com- forting, sustaining and nerve- restoring nutriment. But be sure it is 'Ovaltine'-there is nothing like it.
