FLAVOUR.

Your Breakfast Coffee will be a real joy-if

you prepare half-and-half with hot, rich Glaxo -the milk with the real English flavour.

Glaxo is the rich milk of British-bred dairy cows from which the water has been removed by the Glaxo Process. This process presents the nourishing solids of the milk in the form of a dry powder, which, packed in a parchment bag inside an airtight sealed tin, comes to you across the seas with all its freeliness and flavour unimpaired.

All you have to do is to add boiling water only (a half- pint to three dessertspoonfuls of Glaxo). Mix as much as you require when you require it-the rest will keep for a considerable period, if the tin be kept tightly closed and in a cool place.
