|COULD ONLY WALK “AT A SNAIL'S PACE”
Woman of 60 Hopeless About Her Rheumatism
Here is a message of hope to all sufferers from rheumatism. No (one could be in a more hopelosa state than was this woman~nono could be more cheerful than sho is now!-
"For over eighteen months I was crippled with rheumatism in the knees. I could not walk without 'n stick, and then only at a small's pace. I wont to hospital, having olectrical treatment twice a wook. But it did no good, so I just gavo |up and thought my caso hopeless. I was over 60 and just made up, my, mind (after leading a very active life) that I was finished. Then I left off everything else, and took only Kruschen in my tea. Now I can walk and run as quickly as anyone at my age, or a lot younger, For all this I have only Kruschen to thank."(Mrs.) P. C.
Kruschen stimulates ́ liver and kidneys to health, regular action; asaista them to get rid of the ex- cess urie neld which is the cause of rheumatic suffering.
