I had treatment, but it did not ease the pain very much. A friend said, ‘Why not take Kruschen Salts? Take them every morning, and you'll like­ ly get relief from that pain in your back.’ So I have taken them every morning for some time and I am in fit condition foi’ my work again— thanks to Kruschen.”—C.B. Why is it that lumbago, backache rheumatism and indigestion in many cases yield to Kruschen Salts? Because it is a combination of sev­ eral mineral salts that are vital for turned nome. He reports me your bodily well-being. Each of’ business as being very poor, these salts has an action of its own. Stomach, liver, kidneys and diges­ tive tract are all benefited and ton ed up to a high state of efficiency.
