The Finest "Nightcap"

"I find Glax-ovo all that you claim for it. As a 'nightcap or sleep-inducer I think it is the finest I have yet tried, as it doesn't stop at giving one -anything sleep, but a fit-for- feeling in the morning."

The Best Night's Rest

"After taking Glar-ovo I had the best night's rest I have had for a very long time and woke, next day feeling very rested."

Mr. B. L. S.

"Ihave had the best night's rest for many months. Inow knowW what to have for supper.”

No more sleepless nights

When you

toss

from side to side, and vainly count imaginary sheep passing through a fictitious gate-and yet can't fall asleep-when nothing will induce even that dreamy feeling that ushers in sleep, how you long for dawn. As you hear the clocks strike and listen to the myriad sounds that fill the darkness, you realise that there is no real stillness of the night.

And when morning comes. you get up jaded and unrefreshed and totally unfit to face the day's work or enjoy the day's play.

How different it is when you can go to bed and enjoy the peaceful dreamless sleep of a tired healthy child. And this blessing of sound sleep is within your reach if you take a cup of Glax-ovo each night before going to bed.

The marvellous "Ostelin" vitamin D concentrate feeds those starved and harassed nerves, its rich milk and selected malt extract give rise to that drowsy feeling, and its delicious chocolate flavour makes it an added pleasure with which to round off the day. Get a tin to-day and try it for yourself.
