"No, not permanently" said the pro-

Still it removes them, and that is one

That is where I get ahead OF the physi-
clans of the regular schools. They give
alkalies, and the people continue fat; I
give acids and they continue to grow
thin. Again, IN making thin people fat,
I use a medicine of my own invention.
