SEE THE FAT SLIDE
Vanishes Away as if by Magic by
Simply Taking Doctors
Prescription

There have probably been more at
tempts made TO cure fatty degeneracy
and the tendency of people to put on
fat than for any other annoyance But
the great majority of the cures demand
harsh and cruel dieting, such as the
drinking of doubly SKINNED milk. un-
dergoing torturesome. painful exercise
etc, and then do not accomplish the re-
suit without greatly impairing the
strength of the body. AS to patent
medicines-we will say nothing. A
gentlewoman who has been taking
faithfully three times day and before
bedtime the Marmola Prescription saws:
After a few days I could fairly see the
fat slide. It vanished away and I now
am strong and muscular and my nerves
are in. far better shape than they were
NV digestion is better, l breathe freer.
and have more desire for work and
pleasure Notwithstanding all this. I

month ago.
The Marmola Prescription calls for
the following three ingredients, which
can be had at any drug store for a
trifiing sum. X ounce Marmola, "a
ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic
and " ounces Syrup Simplex. In these
days. when there is so much substitu-
ton going on, it is well TO see that you
get Marmola in the original package
and then you have ample guarantee
that for sheer merit of goodness there
is nothing to equal il. Don't confound
the Marnola Prescription with any
thina for which similar claims are put
forth II is in no sense patent medi-
cine. 1t is doctors prescription.

ACCUSES SHERIFF

SALT LAKE CITY, March 19.-The
sheriff of Salt Lake county and the
district attorney were accused today
of plotting the murder of a prisoner
in the county jail. The accusation was
made by Richard Deming. convict
called to testify for the defense at the
trial of Joseph Sullivan for the mur-
der of a policeman.
Among the points made against Sui
livan by the prosecution was that he
had sawed the bars of his cell at the
county jail. Deming was his cellmate
at the time. Deming testified today
that he and not Sullivan sawed the
bars, and he added that the two county
officials had urged him to permit Sui
livan to get out first that he might
be shot and so disposed of. The
sheriff and prosecutor brand the story
as false.
Sullivan was captured in Portland.
