THANK YOU TI IE ADVANCE -TIMES Publishing Company WHY HIS HEADACHES CEASED Wife Put Kruschen in His Coffee He eould not understand why the headaches he had been subject to and- denly ceased. His wife told him, and he at once sat down and wrote the following letter:- "I am 62 years of age, and ever since I was a boy of ten years, I was subject to very bad headaches. But two years a.go the headaches stopped -for what reason I did not know. I was surprised, when one day my wife told me I had been using Kruschen Salts in my coffee for over two years. 1 am still using them, as I know of nothing -finer for the system." -J. T. Headaches can nearly always be traced to a disordered stomach,. and to the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. Remove these poisons -prevent them forming again -and you'll never have to worry any more. And that is just how Kruschen ,Salts • brings swift and last ing relief from headaches. Kruschen Salts aid Nature to cleanse your body completely of all clogging waste mat- ter. a retired machinist, and one daughter, Mrs. Alex. McCormick, survive.

Campbell (Lib., Kent East), and in: it Mr. Robertson absolutely denied the words attribut- ed to him in the London Free Press and a 'Toronto afternoon paper.
