ARE FAT PEOPLE HEALrHY3 ?

Why are fat people always complainiDg2
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is
synonymous with fat. Fat people complain
because they are diseased. Obesity is an
abnormal condition of the system, in which
the saccharine and oleaginous elements of
the food are assimilated to the partial
exclusion Of the muscle-forming and brain
producing elements. In proof of this, it
is only necessary to assert the we'll known
fact that excessively fat people are never
strong, and seldom distinguished for men,
tai power or activity. Besides. they are
the easy pray of acute and epidemic diseases,
aud they are the frequent victims of gout.
heart disease. and apoplexy. Allan's
Anti-Fat is the only known remedy for
this disease. 1t CONTAINS no acid, is absol-
utely harmless, and is warrented to RENE
dy the most confirmed case of obesity. or
