    A Problem that Teachers have to face The : eae Child. HE timid child who stands aside when healthy fun is afoot—who shuns games—whose shyness and self-consciousness submerge all ini- tiative in school-work—presents a difficult problem. But it is often found that the trouble is almost entirely due to improper nutrition. Exhaustive tests recently conducted among hundreds of school-children have demonstrated the supreme value of ‘Ovaltine’’ in such cases. When ‘Ovaltine’ supplemented the daily dietary, the improvement in energy, vitality and nervous poise was most marked. Similar results have been noted in many schools where ‘ Ovaltine’ is added to the mid-morning milk. ‘Ovaltine’ has special properties which, when added to milk, make the milk deliciously palatable, digestible and much more nourishing. ‘Ovaltine’ is, in itself, a complete and perfect food, scientifically pre- pared from the highest qualities of malt extract, creamy milk and new- laid eggs. It contains, in a concen- trated, correctly balanced and easily digestible form, every nutritive element required for building up body, brain and nerves. PSA
