Feed your Nerves & Forget them

WHEN your are "run-down" and "nervy"

the reason is simply that your nerves need food. The wastage of nerve cells and tissue that is continually going on has not been made good by sufficient restorative material:

Make "Ovaltine" your daily beverage in place of tea, coffee, otc., for it is abundanty. rich in the nourishmont which rebuilds worn" nerves and restores lost energies."

"Ovaltine" is a scientific combination of the nutritive elements extracted from the best of Nature's tonic foods-ripe barley malt, creamy milk and eggs. The essential food elements are correctly proportioned in "Ovaltine" for all needs of the nerves and body, and are presented in the form of a delicious, easily digested beverage.

Feed your nerves with the nutriment they need and you will no longer be a prey to them.
