Or. BradfordTs treatment is recon-
mended by physicians in their private
practice. 7d is taken by prominent
doctors themselves, because they rec
ognize in it the greatest and most sue
cessful treatment that science has ever
been able to compound.
Excessive fat or obesity Is disease
that hastens death Sir Henry Thomp-
son, a famous authority, says:
mot one fat persons in fifty lives to
what is called old age. The typical man
lor woman of eighty or ninety, still re-
tanning respectable amount OF energy
of mind or body, is lean and spare.
How many very old people do you
know who are over fat? Count them
on your fingers and you will find very
few fat people really reach old age.
Over fatness; interferes with the action
OF the heart and other vital organs.
That is why fat people puff and pant
upon the least exertion, and often die
suddenly from heart failure, kidney
diseases or apoplexy."

Bradford's treatment In order to obtain
a permanent cure and be reduced to
normal weight and be relieved from
the dangerous condition, superfluous

physicians, doctors of law, preachers,

and in fact, persons in all the various
walks of life
