SOME HINTS
 FUR THE FAT
Best and Safest Weight Re duCer is Not Medicine But Regular Alternate Use of Alkaline and Acid Water

Water
 Because neshy people. as d rule, are great water drinkers. it has led ta the erroneous idea that the drink ing of much water produces fat. Wa ter is simply conveyor, an aid to the blood in the distribution of the nutritiyc particles of food tleshy people seldom suffer with neuralgia ol other nervous diseases while. on the other hand. thin. spare. anemic persons drink very little or no water, in consequence of which they are not strangers to neuralgia. headaches and pains of various kinds When the nerves are deprived of sufficient moisture and nourishment they cry aloud. and their cry We call pain. When the blood, which of itself is 11S parts of water. is not sufficient iy Tecupcratcd by the drinking of enough liquids for the body's welfare. It draws upon the supply of food uhich the nerves themselves require. The body is .O per cent water. The average man contains more than a half barrel of water This water, in the form of some twenty different fluids. is constantly fluctuating back and forth among the tissues greatly aecclerating the action of the skin and kidneys. If there is any de ticiency then this work will necessar- ilv suffer. T. is only when the sup ply of water k sufficient that the cNcretions of the body can be prop crly carried off.
 Water Takes Off Two Pounds a
 Week.
 Instead of water making one fleshy it vill-the right kind. properly taken reduce d fleshy person about two pounds week. The plan is as sim IIe as it is effectual Drink d glass of Kissengen water twenty or thirty minutes after each of the three reg ular meals one day: then on the day following drink large glass of Nichy water after each of the three meals (this is presuming that you have not formed the habit of the two -meal-a-d day plano Continue this week after week until you obtain the desired result: then discontinue It is useless to take either of these alone. as they act only when both are taken alternately. Kissingen is an dcidulous saline. and Vichy an alkaline. The weight should be re- duced about two pounds week. If more than two pounds. drink less each time: if less than two pounds, increase the acidity Of the Kissin- gen by a few teaspOOnfuls of lemon juice. and increase the alkalinity of the Nichv by ten to fifteen drops of the aromatic spirits of ammonia this to each glass of water. Where the waters are not available. the use of the effervescent tablets of NichY and Kissingen or the granular ef- fervescent salts of each may be used instead This prescription has ben thoroughly tested and it's efficacy proved when the writer was editing the health department of the Ladies' Home Journal
 Results Attained.
 Both Dr. Cathell and his father of Baltimore. Md. made tests of this obesity cure by the water route some years ago. Herewith find a few of the cases reported:
 one person BIO pounds to 2S9 pounds in II weeks.
 one person 223 pounds to 1B0 pounds in 19 weeks
 one person 191 pounds to 113 pounds in 14 weeks.
 One person 173 pounds to 151 pounds in F weeks.
 one person 2S614 pounds to 26i pounds in l3 weeks.
 one person 173 pounds to 16t pounds in seven weeks.
 One person 145 pounds to 14- pounds in five weeks.
 one person 183 pounds to 17i pounds in six weeks
 One person 173E pounds to 16oE pounds :n II weeks.
 one person 211 pounds 10 19t pounds in weeks
 It will be seen how different thu result in different persons, for whicl various reasons might be given.
 A person in normal flesh has as much blood and usually better blood than similar person whose weigh has been ever so much increased D. fat Kissingcn and Vichy act di- rcctly on the fat and not on tn, blood. the glands or the bowels.
 The fat man or woman has smal chance in case of an attack of pneu monid. because the organs of respira tion in the obese are always weak cned. Thus the fat person is il reality in greater danger than tn thin person. The presence of fat doe not and cannot mean health. On may have q remarkably strong con stitutiOn and may successfully com bat disease year after year, eve though burdened with obesity-bu that is no argument in favor of obe sity: for as has been previously stat ed elscwhere-no obese person dies ( old age--old age( as the writer un derStands 1t is loo years) The nat ural and proper loss of his super abundance of flesh would mca greater chances of health and moI
