4 FAT WOMAN
HATES SOCIETY

Fat people have to get clothes that are
designed for people of normal physique.
The men wear dress suits and look like
comic pictures. The women wear low
necked dresses to their evident humilia-
ton. This is why it is often said that a
fat woman hates society. Fat is as much
the mistake of poor health as anything
else. The things that make fat should
he making good blood, bone and nerves.
The secret is that the digestive machinery
is out of gear. The juices make fat in too
large quantities. This fat impedes circu-
lation, cramps the heart, suppresses the
liver. crowds the lungs and interferes with
the stomach. Marmola tablets are harm
less. They are taken after each meal.
They help digest that meal as nature in
tended it should be digested. They re-
move the fat already made at the rate of
from II to Is ounces a day and they leave
no flabby skin or wrinkles. They are sold
wherever drugs are sold, or in the same
category with harmful patent fat re-
ducers. They contain Marmola, Cascara
Aromatic and Peppermint water. If YOU
