If You Are in Good
Form, Stay That Way
Men, and Especially Women, Who
Are Plump Are Most Liable
to Get Too Fat.

Many women. taking pride I'm getting
plump and just q little over normal in
weight, little suspect that they are cult
waiting what is bound TO result in a
serious overload Of fat They are teasing

There never was beautiful fat woman
nor handsome fat man. Beauty is seen
only in normal people. and often even in
those who are really lean.
One Of the most wonderful things that
Rengo does is 10 reduce the weight 10
perfectly normal where the patient Is
neither too fat nor too lean.
This means that II does not take off so
much flesh that It makes you look rag
ged,'' but II takes just enough of to make
you appear IN perfect form The flesh
viii be evenly distributed all over the
body, and you will weigh Just exactly
what you should naturally weigh
One OF the surest ways 70 keep from
getting fat Is 70 take little "Rengo"
every few days. Don't fear that it will
drag of too much flesh, because n will
not reduce you below normal. on the
other hand, Rengo is a health builder
and II has been known &c positively put
flesh on very thin people and build them
up 70 perfect weight and form. This
shows what a powerful regulator it is.
II is a beauty keeper and beauty maker.
