"This young lady has a well-forthed mouth and sound, regular" teeth-good cause to thank her mother. When she was baby her mother gave her "Ovaltine" Rusks as the first tiny teeth were coming through the gums. Teething time was made easy and sufficient biting exercise was ensuredl And throughout childhood "Ovaltine" Rusks kept her teeth strong and healthy.

"Ovaltine" Rusks are made from the purest unbleached wheaton flour with a proportion of "Ovaltine" to give them their delicious davour.
