A Revolution in the

treatment of Teeth

STEP BY STEP THE science of medicine advances. The clearer the picture of human ailments becomes, the more logical the treatment, Instead of intricate remedies, science now advocates simple additions to the diet. To- day, most human ailments can be traced to some deficiency in the diet. A deficiency of calcium (lime) in the system, for instance, is the cause of such diverse all- merits as weak sensitive teeth, rickets in children, skin troubles of many kinds, irritable nerves, irregularities in the functions of, womanhood, etc.

All these ailments may now be attacked in a logical, simple way. by adding Kalzana tablets to the diet. Tooth decay, for instance. When your teeth are sensitive and not hard and white, they
