Replying to Viscount Cecil, who had asked for explanation of the matter, Lord Londonderry said that there was no change in policy.

"Whenever there is disfunction in the body, lack of minerals.

is probably a contributing factor"

The “South African Medical Record",

“I have no hesitation in stating tat Kalzana is the most

efficient mineral food I kan vi".

M.E., M.A.C.P.

Lack of certain minerals in the body, physicians have dis- covered, is responsible for many complaints often of a totally differing character. Such diverse troubles as tooth decay, general weakness, dizziness, nerve pain, may have their root in one and the same cause: mineral deficiency. Drugs only relieve the symptoms and make the condition worse in the end.

With Kalzana, however, you can relieve the actual cause of complaint, because Kalzana makes good the lack of minerals your in your body. Kalzana contains the vital elements needed by your system, combined in such a way that they are readily taken up by the body and quickly reach the weakened organs.

Kalzana, moreover, has a strengthening influence on the whole body. It soothes the nerves and gives new health and increased power of resistance. Lack of minerals is a very common cause of ill-health, but a course of Kalzana will soon put you right again,

Give Kalzana to the children also, especially during the time of teething and rapid growth when there is an increased demand for minerals in the child. Kalzana' turns pale, listless children inte buoyantly healthy youngsters.

Remember, Kalzana is not a drug but a mineral food and must do you good. Start a course to-day.
