HEALTH OF CHILDREN. A DISQUIETING RETORT. 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 lives, The most efficacious remedy for malnutrition in children is that old favourite Wilson's "Maltexo.” Maltexo, the concentrated extract of best malted barlev, lias the property of converting starchy food, such as bread, into malt sugar, in which form it is easily digested by tlie weakest stomach. At the same time it enriches tlie Wood, forms bone and muscle, and tones up the system. Children thrive on “Maltexo,” because it is a pure, natural tonic food. Obtainable everywhere in one and two pound jars and 71b. tins for families. — Advfc-
