Cure your teeth

KALZANA, the Calcium food, is the new idea

in the care of the teeth. For many years people thought that a clean tooth could not decay. Yet however carefully we cleaned them they always ' did decay. For your teeth, are living organs

of the body; they may be weak, they may be ill and underfed. Through microscopic canals they get their food (calcium) from the blood. Weak teeth give continuous trouble. By taking. Kalzana, the calcium food, you can make your testh strong and white and prevent decay,

A well-known dental morgnan_writes: -Kaleana makes the teeth strong and hand and so stop

tooth decay. I have often saan axiraordinary results.” Keep your teeth clean with a dentifrice, but make thém strong with Kalzana. Only then will you be really fres from decay. Kalzans will make your teeth hard and healthy. Moreover, Kalzana strengthens the whole constitution, and gives your whole body increased powers på resistance.
