KRUSCHEN
SALTS,
The much-talked-of "Kruschen feeling", the feeling that makes one jolly and energetic, able to meet every. thing with a happy, beaming smile. You can feel like that if you will only learn the Kruschen Habit of Health.
If you constantly feel run-down, tired and depressed, it is because your internal organs are not working as they should. Insuficient exercise, unsuitable diet and other causes bare rendered the liver and kidneys inactive -and allowed impurities to collect in your system.
The Kruschen habit 'counteracts these ill-effects of a busy life that' cannot be avoided. Every morning you just drop into your first cup of ten enough Kruschen Salts to cover a 10 cent piece. It is tastelees taken. that way, but it stimulates the liver and kidneys to natural activity, invi- gorates the entire systam, sends clear, healthy blood streaming to overy part of the body.
