that show that Kalzana is

needed—right away

1 In Women

Discomfort and pain can usually be combated in a short time by Kalzana tablets, for Kalzana regulates the system and relieves the pain.

As a doctor wrote in the "South African Medical Record": "Whenever there is disluncuon in the body, lack of calcium is probably a contributing factor," By taking Kalzana the Calcium balance is estored and the functions are regulated again. Because Kalzana is a calcium food and does not contain any harmful ingredients it must do good and cannot possibly be harmful.

In Skin Troubles

Lack of calcium leads to Rashico,Eczema, Nettle-rash, and other forms of Skin Trouble. Here Kalzana has been proven of the greatest value.

In the case of Nettle-rash a few large doses (6-8 tablets each time) will conquer the rash very quickly indeed and stop the itching. In the case of Eczema, it will take a little longer, for the calcium must have time to strengthen the walls of the blood-vessels and the cells of the skin.

Gradually the Eczema will disappear and the itching will stop. -

What KALZANA does

The discovery of Kalzana has con firmed the theory that many com plaints were only due to a lack of this element in our system. Years as physicians had expected to find that lack of calcium would be at the bottom of any complaints, but ex- periments to conquer these com plaints with calciumanita were Inilure. We now know that this happened because ordinary calcium combinations leave the body spain without doing any good. But all these difficulties have been over- come with Kalxana. In Kaliana

Calcium is needed in great quan- tities to build up bones and body cells of the expected child. Many complaints of the mother are due to the growing child's excessive demands for calcium. General weakness, loss of heir and tooth- decay may be conquered with Kalzana, the calcium food. The GeneralPractitioner, a well-known Medical Journal,writes: "Kalzang acts efficiently in pro- teding the expectant and nursing mother against a dangerous loss of calcium.'
