A call to remember

There is no more wholesome and plessing drink than good Scotch Whisky and there is no finer Scotch than “Black & White". Blended in the special "Black & White" way it is Scotch at its best. Remember to ask for "Black & White" next time you call for Scotch.

What more can you do?

KEEPING A FAMILY FIT AND WELL is no easy job. You make sure they get good, wholesome meals. You see that they have plenty of fresh air and sleep.

And yet sometimes they get over-tired and listless, and pick up infections' an illnesses. How can you guard against all this? Quite simply by giving them daily Ribena. For Ribena-the natural way to take Vitamin C—is a great source of health. It revives. It strengthens. It provides abundant energy. And it stoutly fights infection. No other product does so much good in quite the same way as Ribena: and that is why Ribena is unique.

WHAT YOUL DOCTOR KNOWs, Ribera, made only from fresh ripe blackcurrants and puro cane sugar, is a rich source of natural Vitamin C and many other factors essential to good health. It is sweet, delicious and extremely kind to the tenderest digestion.

Sponsored by the British Government during the war, Ribena is now used by many famous hospitals and recommended by eminent doctors. Its value has been proved in searching clinical tests. All good reasons why you should give Ribena regularly to the family.
