To Develop the Bust

To Beauty Editor: I am GO ashamed Of
my thin bust that l want to ask you IL
there Is any harmless way t. develop il.
Ny hips and the rest OF my body are right
for the present styles and j do not want
them any larger. but my bust is SO fiat

ment. MARY ;.
The only thing ! know OF that viii de-
velop the bust without increasing the size
OF the hips, without putting on flesh
where not needed. is a prescription put up
by The DR.. Kelly Co. especially for small
and undevcIoped breasts 1t is the discov-
cry OF a woman physician whose practice
was largely among her own sex and in most
cases increases the bust measure four to
six inches in a month. Send l0c to the
Dr. Kelly Co. Dept. 1S2 AC, Buffalo. y. Y,
and they will send you trial package of
the treatment without charge. This is said
to be of great value in cases Of arrested
development OF the bust and will give
full, beautiful form without anyone know
ing that the treatment was used
Many mothers have told me that after the
baby had been weaned, the breasts became
nabhy and shrunken, but the use OF Dr.
Kelly's prescription made them full and firm
Do not Use pads bust forms they
never look natural and have bad effect
upon the general health. Neither would
recommend ordinary flesh builders or tonics,
as they increase the hips and limbs and
with the present styles the form should
be slender everywhere except generously
developed bust.
