“Ovaltine”.
The Great Adventure
That will live in memory the world over
The story of the “Trevessa” is one of the most stirring sea dramas of modern times, Wrecked in the Indian Ocean, the crew of the “Trevessa” in open boats made the wonderful
Journey of 2,000 miles to safety.
Starving, exhausted and pitiably weak after their terrible ordeal lasting 22 days they at length reached land. A letter received from one of the survivors discloses the interesting fact that it was “Ovaltine” which enabled the crew of the Captain’s boat to recover so rapidly from the effects of their hardships.
The incomparable restorative and health giving properties of “Ovaltine” not only restore health – but maintains it. One cup of delicious “Ovaltine” contains more health giving nutriment than 7 cups of cocoa, 12 cups of beef extract or 3 eggs. That is why it should be the daily food-beverage for everyone.

A REMARKABLE LETTER FROM ONE OF THE CREW
St Just, Cornwall
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to say how grateful I am to you for the wonderful nourishing effects of “Ovaltine”.
After being stranded in the open boat for three weeks after the “Trevessa” went down, and as you know we had very little to eat and drink during that time, we were nearly starved when we reached land.
As soon as we arrived on the island the doctors there put us on “Ovaltine”, as a diet, and thanks to its great nourishing qualities it helped to put us on our feet in a very short time: Whereas those in the second boat which landed at Mauritius were given am ordinary diet and it took them a long time to get well.
All the men of my boat speak very highly of “Ovaltine”, and I shall certainly recommend it whenever possible.
