No Appetite

....There's

a reason!

When your child is "off his food," irritable, out-of-sorts, sleeps badly, yet is not !!!, in the literal sense of the word. it is probably because his system lacks the vital VITAMIN B, which any Doctor will tell you is the basis of good health.

Give your boy or girl a course of SQUIBB CHOCOLATE FLAVOURED VITAVOSE-three teaspoons of which have the food value of a pint of pure milk, See how soon appetite returns! Children really love its appetising flavour

every drop does good.

And for all the family too -sick or well. Serve with milk-hot or cold and there'll be no doctors' bill!
