"A WEALTH

of HEALTH"

"I mean to press with all my heart that your Kalzana has given wonderful results in my little girl, who was ailing for some time,

writes a grateful

mother.

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 the 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, will enjoy continual good health.
