Not long ago a gentleman of three

pounds in 4 few weeks. a little later
no was attacked with u painful and
dangerous malady, from which he has
been suffering more than n year. II u

lug regular every day. he had better
leare himself alone, whether he IL US

disease have been reported by medical
men Of reputation as II direct RESULT
OF practlclng Bantam's plan for getting

to get rid of fat IL to work 1t OIL. This
may be aided by eating food when
contains a large amount nitrogen AID
a small amount OF carbon. Nitrogen
food Is that which gives strength. pow
er to work, as lean meats ; carbana-
ceous foods nre those which mske fat,
such as cheese, potatoes, rice. corn,
peas. beans. tapioca, arrowroot. corn
starch. milk. sugar. syrup. and all oily
and fat food. Raw fruit aud berries
largely eaten are great aids to reduc.
Ing weight. But. after all, the great
reliance should be OIL exercise and
