NOT A PAIN AT 78
She Feels Like 48
Aches and pains are not inevitable in old age. When they do como, there is always a cause for them cause that can be overcomo. Here is a little lesson on growing old, by a woman of 78:~~
"For the last five years I have takan Kruschen Salts and I tell you truthfully I could not live without them. I am 78 years old. I have not a pain in my body, and I feel young as I did a 48. I give the credit to Kruschen Salts. No afe will bellove my age."-(Mrs.) C. M.
Most people grow old long before their time because they neglect one vital need of health-the need for internal cleanliness. Evertually they start the healthy Kruschen bahit.
Then, probably for the first time in their lives, they start getting rid every day of all waste matter from the aystem. Now healthy blood goes coursing through the veins. And almost immediately you feel your tie and happy. In a word, you've youth has returned; you feel energe- got that famous "Kruschen Feeling."
