 On November 1, Dr.sF. Turner, a well known Philadelphia physician, was one of the fattest men in that great city. He weighed 254 pounds, his waist measured 4S inches and he wore a IT E collar The tremendous pressure of fat inside his body had greatly affected his vital organs and produced most alarming symptoms which foretold cer- tain death if allowed to continue much longer. His health was miserable; he was weak and tired all the time; dull, heavy, stupid in mind; ungainly; clumsy and awkward in body He was not able to work, to sleep nights or di- gest his food. He had just been re- fused life insurance because of his dangerously excessive fat, and was told that he might drop dead at any moment.
 All Advertised Methods Failed

He worked, eXperi- mented and studied in almost desperate frenzy and mental anguish upon plan entirely different and original from any other ever used. At last, when a1- most ready to give up in despair, he made a most astounding discovery by means of which he has reduced his weight 100 pounds at an average rate of about one pound day, gaining In strength, vigor and general health with nd hn 1nS
 On January of this year. pr. Tur- ner weighed 15O pounds, his waist measured 371s inches and he wore a 151a collar. His health is perfect, he is as capable of hard work as at 25 years of age, and his mind is always clear and buoyant.
