Notice to Eat Women.

Presumably you know, ladies, that
tle proper caper nowadays is lines.
Curves are passe. You have got TO
take off your fat This must be done
in one of three ways. By dieting, by
exercises, or by means Of Marmola
Prescription Tablets. The two former
will keep you busy for months and
punish you pretty severely, the latter
will cost you rs cents at the druggists.
The tablets will not make any altera-
ton in your diet necessary, and yet in
all probability, before you have used
up one case, you will be losing from
IL to 16 ounces of fat day. Which
method do you like the best?
If you fancy this pleasant method OF
getting off the fat, see your druggist
instantly, or else write the Marmola
Company Detroit, Mich, to send you a
case by mail. These acses contain SC
generous quantity of tablets that the
treatment is very economical 1t is
also, quite harmless, for the tablets are
made exactly in accordance with the
famous Marmola Prescription.
