LAUNDERING CURE FOR FAT.
How MalIets Helped stout Man 10
Reduce His Weight.

Townsend Burnett Baldwin of the
Pennsylvania railroad, member of
the New York Yacht and other clubs,
who formerly was very stout. returned
TO New York from Europe the other
day looking as athletic as n football
player, says the New York Times.
When Deputy Collector John Castree
Williams asked Mr.. Baldwin how he re-
duced his weight the railroad man
smiled and said:
Il invented the remedy myself and
here IS the prescription: Every night
for months, when the time for all good
citizens to be in bed came / wrapped
two or three blankets around me- Then
/ lay fiat on my back. Near by had
two big mallets such as marble cutters
use. Taking mallet in each hand. l
began to pound myself and kept 1t up
for half an hour or more Then I re-
moved the blankets and went 10 sleep.
The mallets, not the blankets, did the
work. L only used the blankets to
lessen the force of the blows. 1t is a
fine remedy and is just as good for
rheumatism as it is for undue fat
