THERE is nothing like Ovaltins' as the daily beverage for keeping your children radiantly healthy and vigorous. This delicious and perfect tonic food is supremely rich in the food elements that build up health, strength and vitality.

...

Children need more nourishment than ordinary food supply to make good the strength and energy they spend so prodigally. That extra nourishment is provided by 'Ovaltine in a highly concentrated, correctly balanced and easily digested form.

Ovaltine' is prepared from the finest qualities of Nature's best foods-malt, milk and eggs. Unlike other food beverages, it does not contain household sugar to cheapen the cost, nor does it contain a large percentage of cocoa. Reject cheap imitations.
