Maureen O’Hara relies on Ovaltine for Sound Sleep every night
MAUREEN O’HARA writes: “The exciting sequences of ‘Jamaica Inn’ gave me many hard and tiring moments. But I knew that by taking Ovaltine I could rely on sound sleep each night, and there was never a morning when I did not feel fresh and ready for work again.”
Sound, healthy sleep is the first essential for radiant fitness and vitality. And a “nightcap” of delicious ‘Ovaltine’ is the best and surest way of promoting the right kind of sleep every night. Long experience among countless thousands of people throughout the world has proved this fact beyond all possibility of doubt.
Make ‘Ovaltine’ your bedtime beverage and enjoy sound, restful sleep every night. ‘Ovaltine’ provides soothing nourishment to nerves and brain and quickly induces restorative, health – giving sleep from which you waken in the morning completely refreshed and invigorated.

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
