Pounds Without a Single Drug.
No One Need Remain

Marvelously Simple Home Treat
ment Banished Fat One Pound
DAY, after Drugs, Medicines,
Starvation Diets, Violent Ex-
ercising, Apparatus and all
Advertised Remedies had
Failed Absolutely.

On returning from q recent trip. DR.. +.
Turner, the physician scientist, and traveller
who has won fame and Worldwide reno~h
through his writings and scientific researches,
accorded an interview to press representa-
tiyes, who were astounded by his loss OF
more than 100 pounds Of excessive rat since
they last saw him. They found 1t difncuit
indeed TO recognize in the slender. muscular
and perfectly proportioned form of DR.. Tur-
ner today, the same man who only q Few
months ago they knew as semi-invalid SO
enormously fat that he could hardly walk.
when questioned concerning his health
and the remarkable change in his appear
ance. Dr. Turner said that neither Illness
medicines, starvation dieting, nor strenuous
exercise had caused him to lose 30 much
excess weight. In fact. he said that fatty
degeneration had .eaten into his vital or
Rans to such an extent that II would have
been foolhardy to even attempt the usual
methods of reduction and he was forced
to seek other means Of escape from MS
former terrible condition.
On being questioned further the doctor said:
when 1 began to feel the stuffy cramped
feeling inside which. as a physician, I rec
osnized as the FIRST tell-tale symptoms Of
fatty degeneration, and when my heart
pounded and throbbed at times 20 1t shook
my whole body and seemed about to burst,
l knew from these warnings that the end
was approaching very rapidly. although the
examining physician Of a large life insurance
company, when refusing point blank to ac-
cept me as a risk. had already told me that
I was likely to drop dead any minute. I
tried every means Of reduction known to
medical science but without the slightest
relief. then became desperate and began
to use all the Advertised treatments I had
ever heard Of These not only failed to help
me, but they did considerable harm, one
nearly causing my death on account of the
powerful drugs II contained. Although a
physician am strongly opposed to the use
of drugs In treating Obesity. I have never
known a case where they did anything but
harm when used for this purpose. There
are also treatments put on the market by
persons who are without q physicians train
ing. and I firmly believe that II had con-
tinued one or two Of the methods recon-
mended by these ignorant so-called special
lists would now be in my grave
my discovery came about in this way:

Mr.. wendenburg followed in the effort

HENRY c. BEATTIE MUST
DIE NOVEMBER "a.

DIE NOVEMBER "a.
Governor Mann in Decision
Branding Virginian as Cruel
and Deliberate Wife Murderer,
Refuses to Stop Electrocution.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 15.--Hen-
ry Clay Beattie, jr., must die in
the electrict chair November "a
for the murder of his wife, Louise
Owen Beattie.
For the first item since he has
occupied the executive chair of
Virginia, Governor Mann has re-
fused clemency to,a condemned
prisoner.
Il believe Beattie was guilty
of the cruel and malicious murder
of his wife, said Governor Mann
in rendering his decision.
Il sympathize very profound
ly with Beattie's father, and
would be glad to help him if :
could do so with proper regard
for the public interests. But l
cannot, with any consideration of
these interests, interfere with the
due execution of the sentence of
the court in the Beati cas-
i followd that case during the
trial, and as its horrible facts were
developed, regretted that a crime
so cruel and malicious should
have occurred within the con-
fines of the state of Virginia.
In the decision of every ques-
ton which was presented to the
able and impartial Judge who
presided at the trial, he was care

not err in the admission or exclu-
sion of evidence is shown by the
refusal of the supreme court of
appeals to grant a writ of error.
s"There is no question of the
honesty and fairness of the jur-
ors trying the case.
'That Beattie is guilty of the
wilful, deliberate and cruel muir
der of his young wife, / have not
the slightest doubt.
Nor do l question the wisdom
of the necessity of capital punish
ment in cases where human life
has been wickedly and deliberate
ly taken.
81 believe the best way to pre-
vent such crimes as this is to pun
ish them, adequately certainly,
speedily.
Therefore the Judgment of
the Circuit Court of Chesterfield,
will be carried into effect without
interference from me.

gave out his decision. He car
