IL buys an extra large case. This Is
enough TO make a very desirable change
in almost anyone's weight. Taken one
after each meal and az bedtime the loss
of as much as a pound OF rat a day has
been attained innumerable times
This Is a royal result that seems all
the more remarkable whom one realizes
these tablets are cheaper by-a half than
anything else your druggist has. But the
net loss they bring about Is not the only
good feature Of these tablets. They are
pleasant 20 take; don't disturb the stom-

tlcle or diet a mouthful and last. but not
least, do not cause wrinkles. They re-
