NueVO SsIGlla para ade|gazar

Ell exceso de gordura constituye un
motive constante de proecupacion para
todas las mujeres. Rara sera la que
no Sc sienta dispuesta llevar q cabo
ell sacrihcio que sea necesaria con tai
de evitar el seguir engordando. Mu-
chas de elias, innumerables son las que
al leer en- un periodico ell nombre de
un especffico extranjero que Sc anun-
cia como ell "1nico efcaz" para adelga-
gar, sin tomar la precauci6n de con-
sultar con el m6dico, compran la droga
y Sc la toman observsndo minuciosa-
mente las prescripciones del prospecto
que acompafia al frasco la cajita.
Esta imprudencia, que Sc comete con
harta trecuencia, ha dado lugar &C.
c1dentes verdadera mente graves. Oui-
zas las personals que han cafdo en- la
tentacion de tomar Ell especfico han
logrado adelgazsr; pero casi siempre
ha sido costa de su salud y, mas de
una vez, a costa de Sc propia vida.
Una conocida "masseuse" ysnki,
Nors Harden, preconiza un sistema ra
cional inofensivo para que las muje-
res puedan conseguir su bello ideal de
"no engordar''.
Ademas de inofensivo racional, Ell
sistema es sencillo barato, puesto
que para ponerlo en- practica solo sc
necesita una plancha de las que Sc
emplean corrientemente para los usos
domesticos.
La parte del cuerpo que ha comen-
zado adquirir extremada gordura,
Sc liga, embellishments con fra
nelas y, despues, Sc pasa sobre ella
una planchs muy caliente. La opera
cion debe continuarse mientras pueda
tolerarlo la "paciente", varias veces
durante Ell dia, y la preston de la plan
cha sera mas 6 menos fuerte segdn la
sensibilidad del sitio que Sc somete a
la operacion. Esta debe terminar con
una ducha trfa, y Ell sistema Sc compile
tara con un regimen de comida, sobre
base de vegetables y poca carne, en- todo
Ell eJercicio possible al aire libre.
Nors Harden, asegura que su siste-
ma es infalible y conprueba su eacaci
citando los nombres de numerosss Sc
1oras americanas que han perdido
enormes cantidades de peso en- pocos
meses. sin que por clio Sc haya resen-
lido su salud en- los mas mfnimo
No les parece ustedes, lectoras
nuestras que merece la pena de ser
ensayado ell sistema de Nors Harden?
Cuando menos no existe ell serio ne.
ligro que suponen las drogas especf-
hcos raros en- ell estomago. La plan
cha no es facil que pruduzca ninguna
enfermedad.
