While you are losing fat you will be gaining in energy—in en- durance—in ambition. Your skin will grow clearer and your eyes will sparkle with the good health| that Kruschen brings. Just try one 85c bottle of Kru- schen Salts; it will last you 4 weeks.

Get Kruschen at Juneau Drug Co. or Butler Mauro Drug Co. or any live druggist in America with the understanding that you must be joyfully satisfied or money back. W. R. Daniels of Richmond Hill, N.
