Kings command the best the world can give, and the Royal Infant has the best medical advice, the best nurses, the best food obtainable.

Glaxo is privileged to display the Royal Arms of Italy and Spain because the infant sons of the Kings of Italy and Spain were brought up on Glaxo.

Your Baby is a King, and demands as his Royal right the best that you can give him. Glaxo the food of Kings-is, therefore, the food King Baby must have.
