Beneath Your Fat a
Graceful Figure Dwells

Heredity, natural tendency, mac
ton, high living, and inability OF
the system to dispose of fatty foods
are responsible for the pads and
rolls of fat which gather on chest,
hips, waist, chin, cheeks, and neck,
covering up and distorting the little,
graceful figure beneath. To remove
or prevent these unwelcome deposits
control their quantity and location
without paying the price of violent
exercise, dieting, self denials or i'm
pairment of health; In short, to find
ones own slim self beneath the fatty
sheath-has been made possible by
noted physician, whose Marmola
Prescription helped thousands of
over-fat men and women to reduce
safely and surely from 10 to l6
ounces per day, until the natural
health of the system is restored and
slimness results. Marmola Pre-
scription Tablets, the new form Of
this great remedy. each contain an
exact dose OF the famous Marmola
Prescription. Like the original pre-
scription, they are absolutely sure
and harmless. Nearly every drug
glst keeps these wonderful little
tablets, or they may be secured di-
rect by mail from the Marmola Co,

If your appetite is fickle and
nothing tempts you, or you belch
