Get Busy and Put Some Flesh on Your Bare Boncs--PrOtOne Will Help
 You to Do It

If you feel right and satisfied being lean and skinny, your friends don t.

 Los Angeles, Cal THE PROTONE CO.,. Detroit, Mich Gentlemen:-I gained 7ts lbs. in about three weeks, two inches additional in hip measure. and two inches bust. The scales I weighed on are positively correct. tried two different plans, for l thought the first was wrong. l felt like Colum- bus when he discovered America. For seventeen years I tried everything yor can think of and at last I found it in Protone. I could scarcely believe It and truly l could have shouted for joy I weighed 104 pounds when l began and 111b pounds when I received your last letter.
 This improvement seems positively magical, and I never could have been convinced had I not tried it myself. Had anyone told me that some day l would grow a pair of wings l would have been quite as credulous as that there was a preparation anywhere that could produce lbs. of flesh on me in three weeks or three months.
 My husband observed the change, for he remarked that 'I was getting better cclor, and upon my word l believe you are gaining flesh" should any one doubt my testimonial without my signature and address, you arc at liberty to refer them to me and will gladly satisfy them on that point.
 Yours very sincerely.

 Gentlemen:-Your letter at hand. l am simply delighted with the benefits I have derived from your wonderful remedy. Before l began the treatment, which was five weeks ago, life did not seem worth living. There would be four and five weeks at a time l would not dare venture from my home for fear of the fainting spells which came from little too much exercise. I could eat but very little, and the distress in my stomach would be terrible.
 Eiguratively speaking, l was all run down. The first week 1 did not notice any change, but the second and third drought an increase of appetite, the fainting spells vanished, as well as the sleepy spells that l continually had. l find myself doing work today that l have not been able to do for months and can say it is absolutely the finest rem edy have known. With duty to my sex you are at liberty to show this letter if you feel so disposed.
 Yours very sincerely.

ThinneSS Is a Disease
Protone Reaches the Cause and Easily
 Remedies It
You Can Prove It Yourself Without
 


 Cost
 My can it be that ever was so thin; and to think that I would have been thin and gaunt now had I never heard of Protone. I consider it the luckiest find I ever made when I first discovered Protone advertisement said splendid looking woman few days ago.
 "Yes, Protone built me up 30 pounds in as many days, and I owe my figure to it's wonderful influence, and the beauty of it is I never felt better and more confident in my life and my weight is correct for my height"
 Have you ever noticed that people at proper height are invariably prepossess- ing in appearance, having confidence in self and look the world in the eye with perfect assurance? On the other hand have you noticed that thin, scrawny peo- pie are imaginative, lack confidence, and are appreciative of calamity?
 Thin people eat as much, if not more, than people at proper weight, but the nu- triment of their food goes to waste, it is not carried by the blood to the tissues that sustain the fatty matter demanded by every part of the human system.
 Protone of itself does not make fat, but induces the blood to carry the food nutrment to the cell tissues. it increases the cell growth and establishes activity throughout the system.
 Thinness is disease and Protone reaches the cause and why or the dis ease, which is easily remedied, as proved by short use of Protone. A few weeks treatment produces astonishing results. It will cost you nothing to prove the remarkable effects of this treatment. It is absolutely non-injurious to the most delicate system The Protone Company will send to anyone who sends name and address a free soc package of Protone, with full instructions, to prove that It does the work. Send the coupon today.

the remarkable processes brought about by the use of Protone, so l decided to try it myself. Well, when I look at myself in the mirror now, I think it is somebody else. l have put on 30 pounds during the last month aand never felt stronger or more 'nervy' in my life"
 Protone is a powerful inducer of nutri- tion, increases cell growth, makes per feet assimilation of food, increases the number of blood corpuscles, and as a necessary result builds up muscles and solid, healthy flesh, and rounds out the figure.
