New Method Of Reducing Fat

81 A news item from Paris informs us
that the American method of produc-
tng a slim, trim figure is meeting with
astonishing success. This system,
which has made such a wonderful inn
preston over there. must be the Mar
mola Prescription Tablet method of re-
ducing fat 1t is safe to say that we
have nothing better for this purpose in
this country. Anything that will re-
duce the excess flesh a pound day
without injury to the stomach, the
causing of wrinkles, the help Of exer-
cising or dieting, or interference with
ones meals, is mighty important and
ustful addition to civilizations neces-
stiles. Just such catalog of good re-
suits, however follow the use of these
pleasant, harmless and economical lit
tie fat reducers. We say economical,
because Marmola Prescription Tablets
(made in accordance with the famous
prescription) can be obtained of any
druggist or the makers, the Marmola
Co., Detroit, Mich, for seventy five
cents the large case, which is decid-
edly economical price considering the
number of tablets each case contains.
