Tells How He Carried On A barber who had been “a martyr to rheumatism” write®:— “I have been a martyr to rheuma­ tism for some ten years. For five years I was so affected that it was with the greatest difficulty I was able to carry pn my business. I may say I am a barber by trade. After having tried numerous remedies, I was finally advised to try Kruscheu. I am pleased to say that after hav­ ing used Kruschen for some twelve months, I am now freer from aches and pains than I have been for some ten years. In fact, I consider I am rid of rheumatism, thanks to Krus­ chen Salts.”—W. M. Two of the ingredients of Krus­ chen Salts are the most effectual solvents of uric acid known to med­ ical science. They swiftly dull the sharp edges of the painful crystals, then convert them into a harmless solution, Other ingredients of these Salts have a stimulating effect up'on the kidneys and assist them to ex­ pel the dissolved uratic needles through the natural channel.
