what has made it so tight?''
''ATy own medicine. might say every
body's medicine; for shall donate my
discovery to humanity"
What is it? I viii tell you. When 7
was fish commissioner received govern
ment agricultural reports from nearly
all the nations Of the earth. In all other
countries the fish department is part Of
rle department of agriculture. As / could
not read foreign language I piled the re-
ports away for kindling. One day 1 got
Henry Ozane to read me one Of the
pamphlets printed in French and II was
story that interested me. Translated
the story IS as follows
"About three centuries ago Turkey had
a sultan who was very particular about
his harem eli would have no lady in II
who was not beautifully plump. The peo-
pie of Turkey who had handsome daught-
ers had an ambition 20 place them in the
harem, because it meant a nice TAT pen
sion and prestage at court. Many beau
tiful women were rejected because they
were not OF the exact plumpness re-
uired by the sultan During this gen
tlemap's reign all Turkey began TO ex-
pertinent with food IN order to discover
fattening properties. Some one discover
ed that a cake made from the seed OF
certain East India plant was a food Of
immense value This cake remained
popular until the coming of another sui
tan who wanted slender women in his
harem.
DR.. Shuts listened to this story with
keen interest 1t made an impression up
on his mind. He dreamed about it after
going 10 sleep and it was the first thing
that occupied his mind when he woke
up. He searched ali encyclopedias but
could find no reference to the story Of
the Turkish sultan anywhere He found
the name of the Indian plant and traced
it down to japanese clover.
After making the above discovery he
secured some alfalfa seed, ground IL and
made it into a cake. The thought &C.
Cured to him to make an alfalfa seed
etract and then fluid extract. This done
he began eperiments with himself, first
taking one drop and increasing it 10 a
spoonful He has taken three spo0nsful
Of it every day for eight weeks and has
gained nine pounds OF flesh. He says:
cit not only has fattened me, but it has
given me new life Il IS the greatest
appetizer have ever seen. can eat ten
times day and go to bed hungry. It
produces sleep easily, not drowsiness. but
a natural sleep like that OF a child Tt
also has the quality of giving heat to the
body To be brief I rather think I have
discovered an elixir"
Col. Hutchinson came into my office
few weeks ago and 1 gave him some u
it. He says it has fattened and strength
ened him wonderfully. he wants me 10
patent it. saying that it would make me
afortune, but I won't do il. ] made the
discovery by accident rather than
through patient study and I want the
whole human family TO have the benefit
Of it,"
HAS anybody else used it
Eyes. a young lady in q well known
store mas taken it for three weeks and
she has gained four or FIVE pounds. 7.
have not tried It extensively for have
made it for my own use only. 7 re-
Gently made a we'll known business man
try it and he says ne can almost feel
himself grow fat"
'Can it be made so as to Be within the
reach Of poor people?"
1T can be made as cheaply as beer is
made and a glass Of IL win last three or
four weeks. I think Il Is practical 10
make it into a solid extract IF 81 isl
you can carry enough Of IL in your vest
pocket 70 increase your weight from .
10 20 pounds"
Prompted bv the suggestion Of Dr.
shuliz Col. Hutchinson has used the seed
extract in crude form or On old horse
with the result that he IS getting 10 be
as plump and lively as a colt
