TOO TIRED TO ENJOY A REST?
How do you feel towards the end of
the day eager to get the washing up done, and tuck the kids into -bed?
Looking forward to a cheerful even- ing with the radio?
Or do you flop into a chair too worn out to enjoy your rest? And find yourself dozing to the music?
This isn't right! Do you know what is wrong?
It is probably constipation. You may be "regular," Still, it's probably constipation. Elimination must be completo as well as regular. If it isn't, poisons get into the blood, cause vague lack of well-being.
For this there is a simple, honest › prescription - Kruschen Salts. It isn't a drug, or a patent medicine, or a fad, or a fashion; it's a British Institution.
Doctors have prescribed it these fifty years past, for the analysis on the bottle tells them they could prescribe nothing better. It agrees with their medical knowledge. And Kruschen Salts will agree with you.
