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.
