Krpschen
Like many other sufferers from
backache and rheumatic ailments, this
woman decided to try Kruschen Salts
in a last attempt to obtain relief from
pain. To her surprise, the pains did
grow less, and in a few months the
backache had disappeared. Having
made sure of the results, she now
writes as follows^—
“For about four months I had: ag
onizing pains in my back, and could
not turn in bed. During that time I
tried various remedies, but obtained
no relief, and was seriously consider
ing going into hospital. However,
seeing a case similar to mine describ
ed in an advertisement for Kruschen,
I thought I would try it, and was
more than surprised to find the pain
getting less. I have been taking Kru
schen for Jour months, and would not
be without it for anything. I must
say I am free from those dreadful
pains,”’—(Mrs.) B.C.

Dunblane and on four occasions with

the result that fifteen hives have been
completely wrecked, causing a loss of
about $150. Several attempts have

Both Sides of the Question
The considerable public interest now
existing with regard to the problems
of temperance, prompts the Brewing
Industry to state its side of the
question.
Providing as it does a living for
thousands, this Industry claims con
fidently in Ontario the same respect
that it is accorded throughout the
British Empire; for its sense of public
responsibility is the same!
Consider the facts. Moderation and
true temperance are causes which the
Brewing Industry in its own interest
must support.
For moderation means respect-for
law and order. It means a decrease
in secret drinking—a reduction of
drunkenness. It means a chance for
the ordinary decent citizen to exercise
self-control.
In fact at every point it means the
very opposite of excess—the very
opposite of prohibition.
For prohibition whether general or
limited, does not mean temperance.
Surely that fact, at least, has been
abundantly proved.
Rather it ifleans the return of the
bootlegger. It means the growth of
rackets. It means making illegal
drinking the "smart” thing to do, with
the result that drunkenness becomes
a distinction instead of a disgrace.
No thinking person can possibly
want the return of these evils—yet
that is what propaganda against our
Industry seeks to achieve!
> This advertisement is inserted by the Brewing
Industry in the interest of a better public understand
ing of certain aspects of the problems of temperance
and local option.
