Should Women dread the approach of a perfectly natural event?
NATURE never intended you to suffer unduly. Why is it then that so many thousands of women experience such pain and weakness ?
Simply because the body lacks calcium.
That is the reply, supported by the best medical opinion. Calcium is the vital food of every body cell, and any shortage hinders the correct performance of all bodily func- tions, particularly those of women.
The use of KALZANA, the calcium-food, for a few weeks provides the whole system with all the caltiin (lime) needed to establish that care-free, vigorous health that Nature intended you to enjoy.
But it must be Kalzana, as only in this scientific form (a combination of sodium- lactate and calcium-lactate) will, the calcium be taken up and retained by your body. Lose your dread-re-establish the functions, on a normal basis by starting a course of Kalzana to-day.
