General Physical Activity Neces-
sary to Woman of Pom
derous Flesh.
BY

HESS tropical, perspiring days of
August are welcome to the wom-
an of too ponderous flesh.
They 1old out alluring inducements
TO her, If she possess sufficient persist
ence and an answering desire to re-
duce her super1uous fatty tissue.
She must not allow the e%nervating
effects of these dog days to rob her of
the determination and energy to carry
u her daily program to combat this
enemy of health and beauty.
TIL most wholesome and satisfactory
way of overcoming his prevalent dis
order is through general physical ac-
tivity, outdoor exercise, a rigid adher-
ence to a prescribed diet, baths and
ll-over massage. In the majority Of
obesity cases medicine is not required
to assist nature, but an entire reforma-
ton of habits.
Not only are mature women afflicted
with s%uperfluous flesh, but many young,
growing girls, and to them especially
I suggest that they overcome this
tendency while youth is still theirs.
Redoubled efforts are necessary where
1t is of long standing.
No cut-and-dried rules can be given
for all obesity patients. for personal
observation and discretion must be
carefully followed.
However, there are certain kinds of
f~iesh-making foods which are generally
tabooed. These include all kinds of
cakes, bon-bons, pastries, ices, creams
and dainty tid-bits which must be re-
liquished between meals. This seems
cruel, but they are positive factors in
establishing fatty tissue.
Bread should be eaten sparingly, then
coarse kinds, as gluten, brown or
graham; white bread never, unless cut
very thin and toasted to remove the

Y Along the blue walled street the whistles calling,
Along the street ten thousand footsteps falling,
Through steam and smoke wreaths foam.

Scars throbbing with the chimes and whistles ringing,
The breath of night, the twilight city, singing,
Come home, my child, come home.
OCk fast the locks, drop down the shutters shading.
From shop and counter, counting house and trading,
From dQck-yard, stock, yard, derrick, crane, and lading,
From caisson, clay, and loan.
Come home, my child, come home, in manychording
And rushing voice, the cty'sings, from boarding.
From spending, %grudging, judging, and recording,
Come home, my child, come home.
TOME from disgrace and honor, craft and scheming,
From work and Sinking come, from deed and dreaming,
Success and failure where the lights are streaming
Azure and chrysoite,
Yellow and crystal, where the mists are falling,
The %yard-bells ringing, engine whistles calling,
Along the street ten thousand footsteps falling
Come through the ~dark-broWn night.

thin and sicky. She had no appe-
tite and no ambition.
I'VE tried various medicines. but
without any benefit whatever, and she
could not take cod liver oil or emuI-
sions, as they nauseated her and up
set her stomach.
Learning that Vinol contains all
the medicinal and strength-creating
properties OF cod liver oil, bur without
the disagreeable oil, and tonic iron
added we decided to try II. and the
results were marvellous. II gave her
a hearty appetite; tho color returned
to her cheeks and she Is stronger and

years.

ach and not have il assimilated, yet
in Wilmington as well as every other
town and city, there are many people
who are thin, pale and seem underfed,
simply because the food they eat is
not assimilated, and fails to make good
blood and firm flesh.
Samose, the wonderful flesh-forming
food, taken before or after meals,
mingles with the food, so that it is
assimilated by the system and makes
rich blood and pleasing plumpness. No
one can use it for a week or ten days
without a noticeable gain in weight.
Statistics show that out Of every one
hundred people who commence the use
of Samose, 9S will find a full gain in
weight and restoration Of health and
strength.
Anyone who IS thin. weak. scrawny
and emaciated can put soc on deposit
with Miller Drug Co. and take home

not give a noticeable Increase in good
firm flesh and restore strength and
