And you will appreciate the sense of gratitudo which led her to write this letter, when sho nt last succeeded in reversing the process:-

I was weighed every week, only to find my weight increas- chemist ing. I was in despair, nty advised me to try Kruschen, and now cach morning I take the prescribed dose in a glass of hot water. I am thankful to say that after following this simple treatment I have lust 13 lbs. I shall always take Kruschen to ward off that tendency to put on fut" (Mrs.) N.J.
