Happy Teething Time

TEETHING time and yet baby is perfectly con- tented and happy. That is because his mother gave him 'Ovaltine" Rusks to bite and crunch as soon n the first little tooth was due..

These delicious rusks make teething eary for baby. They also provide the biting exercise which keeps the teeth sound and strong, and promotes the correct formation of the mouth.

Ovaltine Rusks are made from pure, unbleached wheaten flour, retaining all its nutritive elements. The addition of a proportion of Uvaltine makes them even more nourishing and delicious.

Always remember that healthy temporary teeth are essential to ensure perfect permanent teeth later on. That is why every baby and child should have 'Ovaltine' Rusks.
