SOUND, healthy teeth need n proportion of

hard food in the daily dietary. They need the natural exercise given by thorough mastication If they are to be kept free from decay.

That is why "Ovaltine" Rusks are of such great value for children. Crisp-but not too hard-they keep the jaws and teeth busy. This not only ensures healthy, strong teeth, but good mouth formation and perfect development of the jaws as well.

"Ovaltine" Rusks are delicious, cnally digested and most nutritious. To the finest wheaten flour -unbleached, unadulterated and containing all the nutritive elements--is added a proportion of "Ovaltine," the supreme tonic food beverage con- nining the concentrated nourishment extracted from mali, milk, and egg.

Give your children “Ovaltine" Rusks and thus help to keep them free from dental troubles in later

years.
