The Slim Woman
Is Winning


The day of the slim womans tri-
umph has arrived. The thinner one is
the more stylish say the dress makers,
This would have been sad news for
the fat woman "a year ago. She would
have had to try dieting or exercise.
Nowadays, however. the woman who is
too fat for the styles goes to a drug
gist and gets case of Marmola Pre-
scription Tablets, one of which she
takes after each meal and at bedtime
and so reduces her superfuous flesh
quickly.
These tablets. being made in accord
ance with the famous prescription. are
perfectly harmless. and they are, also,
the most economical preparation per-
son can buy. for they. cost only 10 cents
large case. one of which is frequently
enough to start a person to losing fat
at the rate of IL or a ounces day.
Pretty nearly every druggist keeps this
tablet in stock. but should yours be
sold out you can easily obtain a case
by sending to the makers, the Marmola
Company. 246 Farmer Bldg. Detroit,
