This is all to the good if you make sure that the energy you expend is quickly and completely replaced.

For this reason proper nourishment and sleep of the right kind are most essential in Summer. Sleep is the time of repair and restoration--when strength is renewed and energy stored up.

There is nothing like a bedtime cup of 'Ovaltine' for ensuring energy- creating and restorative sleep.

'Ovaltine' results are obtained only with 'Ovaltino'

'Ovaltine' is not only the surest inducer of sleep, but is also the most complete form of nutriment for rebuilding body, brain and nerves while you sleep. 'Ovaltine' supplies the revitalising elements of Nature's finest foods-malt, milk and eggs. Although expensive, now-laid eggs are liberally used because they provide important nerve-building properties without which no tonic food beverage would be complete.
