Safe Way To Lose Fat
Take the case of Miss Madelone
Crowley, for instance, who lives in
Little Rock, Ark. Just read her
letter:
“I have used Kruschen Salts for
one year—when I started 1 weigh-
ed 140 pounds—now I weigh 110
pounds and never felt better in my
life.” '
8 That’s the big reason a host of |
Laen and women take Kruschen to
lose weight—as the fat goes you
gain in health—skin clears—eyes | —
grow bright—activity replaces in- 8
dolence. ,
Take one-half teaspoonful of 5
Kruschen in a glass of hot water s
every morning before breakfast—
cut down on fatty meats, potatoes
and sweets—a jar of Kruschen 20
