voca bulary in framing advertising, and of unlimited amount of print ers ink in making extravagant prom ises to the" oVerfed, has resulted in breaking the news to the expectant world that the Texas Guinan World Famed Treatment for Corpulency'' will relieve all the ills of fat people for $20 a bottle. This would be lovely if it were true, but, unfortunately, it is not. The man behind the scheme Is Walter c. Cunningham, who in 1906 is said to have served a term in jail in Minneapolis for fraudulent acts in the real-estate business, who later went into the mai1-order medical fake business, probably as offering greater profits with less risk. In 1909 he started, in Chicago, a mai1-order bust developer and wrinkle eradicator con cern under the name of his wife, Evelyn Cunningham. In 1910 he sold out this concern and started another under the name of Della Carson. In 1911, after being divorced from Evelyn Cunningham, he married Marjorie Hamilton, the "calendar girl,'' and went to Denver, where he started the Marjorie Hamilton Obesity Cure,'' the Princess Tokio Beauty Company" and the Cunningham Mail Order School" Early in August dispatches from Denver stated that the 'calen- dar girl'' had been "deposed as the light in the lives of fat women who seek to reduce In interview in

Io HELP FOR FAT PEOPLE YET.

Since the beginning of time those
 fortunate, or unfortunate, persons who
 have had too much to eat and too
 little to do have endeavored to escape
 from the bondage of fat by some
 means which would reduce them to
 normal proportions, but leave them
 free to overeat and be lazy Prob
 ably antifat remedies were advertised
 to the Roman patricians 2,000 years
 ago. They have been ever since, and
 they always will be so long as there
 are men and women who eat more
 than they ought to. As these indi-
 viduals generally belong to the leisure
 class, with plenty of money to spend on self-improvernent, they form
 tempting group for the confidence man and the fake medical swindler Anti
 fat remedies and reducing treatments have been sprung on the public by the score. Most of them have been promptly exposed as frauds or have died a natural death as soon as a req sonable number of victims found that they did not fulfil the extravagant promises made by their promoters.

a Chicago newspaper at about the same time Marjorie said: MT. Gun. ningham now has another scheme for money= making. would advise the people who are dealing with him to look out.'' MT. Cunningham did have another scheme. It involved another woman whose name he could use and another fat-reducing fake, This time the woman was Texas Guinan, and the wonderful remedy which was offered as an absolutely unfailing fat re- ducer'' was found analysis in the laboratory of the American Medical Association to be a solution of alum and alcohol in water A bottle of this wonderful mixture costs 30 cents, and was offered for sale by Cunning ham as Texas Guinan's World-Fam- ed Treatment for Corpulency," at the low price of $2G, leaving an insignii- cant margin of profit on each bottle of $19.70. The Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association. which has just published a complete exposure of this fake, says that it will not have any more effect on surplus fat than so much ditch water.
