In the case of Discovery II it is known tha supplies of 'Ovaltine' were taken on board before the ship left New Zealand,

This implicit confidence in 'Oval- tine' is founded on long experience. Famous "explorers, mountaineers, long-distance flyers and leading athletes, during many years past. have relied upon 'Ovaltine' to pro- vide the reserves of strength and vitality so essential for success.
