If your

Child is ailing then give it Kalzana

If any of your children are delicate and irrit able, suffer from delayed teething and weak bones, it is more than probable that a lack of minerals is the cause of the trouble.

Give your children. Kalzana tablets or powder for a few weeks and you will soon see the difference in their health. It strengthens the cells of blood, body and nerves, increases power of resistance and makes bones

strong, and teeth white and healthy.

Give Kalzana to the grown-up members of your family, and they, too, enjoy continual good health.
