LAY AWAKE IN AGONY WITH NEURITIS Kruschen Saifs Brought Lasting Relief Ordinary headaches are bad enough, but they are as nothing compared to the awful pains of neur­ itis in the head, says this woman. Read how Ktuschen completely ban­ ished the pain:— “J Ixid neuritis in the head and right arm, I suffered untold agony with my head, and I dare not think what might have happened had it continued. Everybody,knows what a headache is like, but it is as nothing compared with the awful pain of neuritis in the head. I spent sleepless nights' tossing with pain. I began taking Kruschen Salts,, and after some months of the treatment I have effected lasting relief,”—(Mrs.) L.M. Neuritis, like rheumatism and sciatica, frequently has its roots in intestinal statis (delay) — the unsus­ pected accumulation in the system of harmful waste matter, which leads, to the formation *of excess uric acid. Two of the ingredients of Krus­ chen Salts have the power of dissolv­ ing uric acid crystals, * Other ingred­ ients of Kruschen assist Nature to ex­ pel' these dissolved crystals through the natural channels.
