LITTLE REST PAYOR NIGHT Woman with Revere Neuritis For the benefit of others who may be troubled with the complaint she suffered from, a grateful woman writ­ es:— “Last May 1 had a very severe at­ tack of neuritis in the leg, which made it impossible for me to rest dur­ ing the day, or to get regular sleep at nights ■— to say nothing of the in­ tense pain. .“Various medicines gave me very little relief, and a friend advised me to give Kruschen a trial, as she had derived benefit from it whilst suffer­ ing, similarly. I am, so thankful that I took her advice. From the very first bottle I felt relieved, and now I am quite free from pain, and get a good night’s sleep.”—(Mrs,) H.C. Neuritis, like rheumatism, lumbago, and sciatica, is often caused by needle- pointed uric acid crystals, which form as the result of sluggish eliminating organs. Kruschen helps to convert those crystals into a harmless solu­ tion, which is removed through the natural channels. C, Dorothy Downey D, Donald Bur­ rows A.
