Mineral deficiency
stands between you
and REAL HEALTH
One small defect impairs the efficiency of the most perfect piece of mechanism. And that applies to nature's masterpiece-your body. If the cells are starved ill-health follows. Caläum is the one vital minera, without which the life centre of the body cells would shrivel and die, and Kalzana supplies this element in a form which the system can easily assimilate and retain.
By remedying this deficiency and making the cell-nucleus plump and strong, Kalzana gets right to the root of ill health. Kalzana improves the condition of the blood, strengthens the whole body and supplies the teeth with the elements they need to keep them hard and white and immune from decay. A course of Kalzana quickly gives new strength and vigour begin yours today.
"I am never without Kalzana, ngt taking them always, but at any time of extra strain, and when there are colds and other infections abosa.
I find my resistance to disease, and general health marvellous,”
Miss A. M
