Texas, in her breezy style, with her
glorious countenance beaming in smiles
at her supreme gladness, realizing how
appreciative the world was in bestow-

all on account of the new
glory of her form, which she
transformed almost as If by
magic with her own marvel
Gus new treatment.
while you are not going IS
to get away with my secret, ~
said Texas, lit is true that ~
my seventy pounds of %S$
weight reduction was SW
brought about with syxssesss$~
my own delightful S9
treatment, but 1t cost WZzW
me a pretty sum of x
money to learn of it.
and I am not giving
my secret of how /
lost my weight free to

from the thralldOm of 4sS%z3&

soon be off the press 49,
and offered free to fa..
fat burdened men and
women, as I early learned in
life that the only way to
know happiness WAS to give
