A Advertising postcard By Bovil meat extract drink.
Much like oxo which can be used for Gravy making
A good drink in a cold winter The text under the picture is entitled.
[A More excellent way .] Bravery means Beef nervous organism
is all very well and we can image a handful of pale -faced half starved
heroes accomplishing some great deed .but what a reaction on the
morrow a corporal's guard might secure the group . Courage must
be backed by muscle and muscle must be made by beef.
The French are wise in considering the risks of another siege of Paris.
They are about to erect stores to hold `30,000 tons of frozen beef
This represents fifty days full rations and will require buildings by
the acre to house it and keep it cool. If the French Minister of War
would consult a food expert he would learn that in lean beef
there is about 80 per cent of mere water so that of 30.000 tons
about 24.000 tons are not available for building up the human
tabernacle, so this is a big scheme for securing a small result .
Now for the most excellent way ,A small cottage would hold
all the Boril required to feed Paris for 50 days .The next great battle
will be won by the Battalions that carry Bovril in their knapsacks.
