| Cod liver oil is excellent for IN
creasing the weight, but II is always
/ better to take such cures in as near
the natural form as possible. Olive oil
II taken In sherry or angelica wine is
not near so disagreeable. There are
several well-known preparations, the
names OF which will be told you at any
drug store. which are mixtures Of malt
and cod liver oil. While this prepar-
alton is rather unpleasant to take for
some, 1t is by far one of the most fat

; system is thoroughly wholesome and
not expensive. In reducing flesh. the
one fact to recolIect is that fat Is
