Reducing Fat on a Full Meal

If you want to reduce your flesh 8

to exercising or cutting down your
meals-from three to one or half of
one-you can manage It. Ask your
druggist for a package of Marmola
Prescription Tablets; they cost but a
trife Gan effective quantity being OBJ
tafnable for only rs cents), and take
one tablet after meals and at bedtime.
That is all. Just eat when and what
you please, leave exercising to the
athletes, take your convenient little
tablet faithfully and that fabby flesh
will soon disappear-possibly at the
rate OF pound or more day.
These tablets are licensed as harm
less and effective by the Marmola Co.,
Detroit, Mich, for they contain iden-
tically the same ingredients as the

ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic
and 3h ounces Sirup Simplex, which
