If You Are Fat and
 Hot Read This Article

There is no necessity of fat people suffering as they do. Most fat pco- pie are so good -natured they do not care how they look or how they get along during the hot weather AS a matter of fact there is a natural fat reducer that in the past several years has been demonstrating that it will reduce fat and not tear down the body or leave big. flabby rolls or skin and wrinkles. This method is the famous MarmOla prescription. which is now prepared in tablet form to meet the demands of fat people in the summer and to enable them at all times to take their fat reducer after each meal. one of these little tablets taken after meal turns that meal into good food for the blood and stops all fat-producing elements from going into the system. Marmola Tablets has an army of men and women who testify to it's success. and you would tire reading what they say of its triumphs Marmola tablets not only stop producing fat in the body but they reduce flesh at the rate of from F to 15 ounces a day They are harmless and do nothing but as- sfst nature to give to the body the nOurishment it requires They are sold at all drug stores, price n cents
