At 13 months he had his'full' 16 tee*A without any trouble, although he cut them three \"5 and four at a time, and his weight when taken was 25 lbs. ~* 15 ozs. He is always happy and full of smiles ; I put that down to the way of feeding, for when advised by the Plunket Nurse to give him rusks I found that 'Ovaltine' Rusks were the only ones he would eat, and the best for him and also for his teeth." •Ovaltine' Rusks give Baby the natural biting exercise he needs to bring the little teeth easily through the gums, and are made from the finest unbleached wheaten flour in which all the nutritive elements are retained. They contain a portion of 'Ovaltine' which renders them very nourishing and easy to digest. *OV>ILTINt APPETISING—DIGESTIVE and NOURISHING Sold by all Chemists and Stores. Manufactured by A.
