A Sudden Death.

There is something terrible in the
thought OF having our friends stricken down
at our side, without parting word of en-.
dearment or consolation--one moment at
our side in the flush of vigorous life, cheer
ing our hearts with their loving sympathy d;
the next at our feet, pale with death, deaf
to our cries and needless of our tears.
Every excessively fat person is in instant dan
ger Of such a death. Seven-tenths of the
victims of obesity die OF heart disease or
apoplexy. Allan's Anti-Fat, the only rem
dy for obesity, reduces the weight by regu-
lating the digestion and assimilation of the
food. 1t is perfectly harmless, and its use
will insure, in every instance, a reduction
OF weight from two to FIVE pounds week
