called difficult and cross' chil- dren and could prove that in most instances the children suf- fered from lack of calcium in the body,"
writes a wall-kriown specialist.
In the Strand Magazine" of March 1933, the well-known food expert, Miss Kathleen Dane, writes:
“Many children of the irritable, nervous type, owe their state to a deficiency of organic salts, particularly calcium, notwithstanding the fact that the dietary appears to be properly balanced. Such youngsters do well when the diet is reinforced by a well-retained mineral food, such as Kalzana, which medical men all over the country are now recommending,"

手
Your quickly-growing child needs "extra calcium to help the formation of straight bones, healthy teeth, and a strong constitution. Start your boy or girl on a course of Kalzana--you will be surprised at the all-around improve- ment Kalzana effects. Irritability disappears, appetite returns and soon the formerly "difficult" child will be a happy, healthy youngster again.
