 Loring & Co-Gentlemen: For the past six months I have been taking your Obesity Remedies and have re- duced my weight 150 pounds and my general health is greatly improved; in fact, I owe my life to your Obesity Remedies. My waist measurement was reduced from fifty seven inches to forty-three inches, a difference of four teen inches. Previous to taking your remedies I suffered from shOrtness of breath and palpitation of the heart, and could not take any exercise what ever, and my ankles refused to sup port my weight Now I can exercise freely; the shortness of breath has left me, as has also my heart trouble. 1n Ao1r 1rs r Ia a trip to the Pacific coast. I was able to walk around quite a good deal, which I had not been able to do pre- viously for number of years. On my return home my neighbors said they had never expected to see me re- turn alive, but through the efficacy of your Obesity Remedies I have been greatly improved. I shall continue your treatment, as I desire to be re- duced about fifty (5O) pounds more. I have answered a great many letters of inquiry as to the truth of this state ment, and have always recommended Dr. Edison's Obesity Remedies to all who are overburdened with super fluous flesh. Yours truly,
