MUSCLE AND NOT FAT.
What Thin People Need 10 Round Of
the Corners.

What thin folks need il flesh or
muscle, not fat.
To bc symmetrical ANA properly pro-
poTtioned every person should have Il
certain amount Of excess flesh, but to
~ plump does not necessarily mean
a. 10 fat
Fat is undesirable; it clogs and re-
t3rds the action Of the muscles. inter
fcrcs with The healthy action Of the
heart ana lungs and when Hery cX-
ccssiyc. prc,lisuosrs too fatty degencra-
ton OF vital organs, 10 say nothing OF
the discomfort resulting from too mach
adiposc tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become ileshy and
plump the thing most needed would be
flesh forming food that is, albuminous
foods like eggs. beef. oatmeal. etc.
The kinds Of food which make flesh
are the foods we have on our tables
every day; but the trouble is tina; our
stomachs, from weakness or dcrange-
mcnt Of some kind do not promptly
and properly digest it.
Really, the principal reason so many
people remain thin is because their
stomachs do not properly and com
pletely digest and assinilate the
flesh forming beefsteak and eggs we
eat every day.
There are thousands of such people
and they are really dyspeptics al
though they may not suffer any par
ticular pain or Inconvenience from
their Stomachs.
If such persons and oll Thin npppIp
would take after their meals some
simple and natural digestive. like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets the food would
be quickly digcsted and the proper de-
gree Of plumpness very soon result he
cause these tablets are prepared ex-
actly for that purpose. They digest
every variety of flesh forming food
which is the real reason why they 50
quickly build up and strengthen thin,
dyspeptic men and women.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets cure
every form of indigestion on this com
mon sense plan. that they thoroughly
digest the food promptly. giving
strength to every nerve and organ in
the body. and the weakened stomach
a chance to rest and recover its nat
ural vigor. Nothing further is re-
p,lired to cure any stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach. They
make thin. dyspcptic people strong,
plump and well.
This excellent preparation is sold &c
cts. for fun sized treatment by all
druggists in United States, canada
and Great Britain.

whole length of the old train shed. is
composed of cages containing buffalo.
moose, caribou. deer, antelope. bear.
elk wolves and wild cats and many
small animals and birds. In the rear
is an Indian village. constructed by
the PasSamaQuoddy tribe. from Old
Town, Me. and beyond this are log
cabins. canals. etc. More than 20 In
dams are with the show.
Surrounding the cages is a large
athletic track. Plans have been made
. toward arranging some good contests,
including bicycle and automobile races

THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST.
Ed IS ASL0 EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vin0l as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VIN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

NinoI is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
1t is because Ninol acts so beneficallv
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
SO much good.
NinOl contains the active curat tive
principles that are found In cod-livcr
oil. without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act 50
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the clements
necessary Cor creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally. desire is created for good
simple food and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver OIL as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which il con
tanned were too often unable TO
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat. we have n tonic and re
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is letter that viii ex-
plain itself;
