Reduced 30 Pounds
Never Felt Better
Safe Way To Lose Fat

Take the case of Miss Madeleine
Crowley, for instance, who lives in
Little Rock, Ark. Just read her
letter:
81 have used Kruschen Salts for
one year-When l started l weighed
14O pOundS-nOW l weigh 40 pounds
and never felt better in my life"
That's the big reason a host of
men and women take Kruschen to
lose weight-as the fat goes you
gain in health-skin clears-eyes
grow bright-activity replaces in
dOlence.
Take One-half teaspoonful of
Kruschen in a glass of hot water
every morning before breakfast -
cut down on fatty meats, potatoes
and sweets-a jar of Kruschen that
costs but a trifie lasts weeks-get
it at Pettyjohn's Pharmacy or any
drugstore in the world-but for your
health's sage demand and get Krus-
chen Salts.
