HEALTH OF CHILDREN
A DISQUIETING REPORT. 20 PER CENT. NOT FIT. Reporting to the Education Board recently, a School Medical Officer says of some New Zealand children: “20 per cent, of them are not up to the proper state of nutrition.” This is a disquieting report. Malnutrition is a common complaint amongst children, and unless promptly rectified those who suffer will not develop into strong men and women, but will be handicapped all their Eves. The most efficacious remedy for malnutrition in children is that old favourite, Wilson’s “Maltexo.” Maltexo, the concentrated extract of best malted barley, has the property of converting starchy food, such as bread, into malt sugar, in which form it is easily digested by the weakest stomach. At the same time, it enriches the blood, forms bone and muscle, and tones up the system. Children thrive on ‘■'Maltexo” because it is pure, natural tonic food. Obtainable everywhere in one and two pound jars and 71b tins for families. — Advt.
