Build up your Strength

with KALZANA—

the Calcium Food

Calcium is the mortar of your health, the element that gives your body the power of resistance. Any real lack of this vital element will make your body "shaky," and spoil your health.

A few typical symptoms of too little calcium in the body are susceptibility to colds, skin troubles, weak and decayed teeth, hair falling out, acidity, rickets and many other common minor ailments. Indeed, innumerable ailments are caused by cal- cium deficiency. Kalzana, the scientific calcium food supplies this much needed element in the most easily absorbed form.

Kalzana removes the root cause of so many such complaints. It strengthens the body and the heart. It gives a new power of resistance and a now feeling of health and vitality. Kalzana will improve the health of mother and child, of man and boy. It is a calcium food and contains no drugs, so that it is absolutely harmless. Kalzana must do you good.
