PRODUCES SLEW OF LETTERS
TO BACK UP HER FAT GAME
Denver, Col, June 25.-Some of
the methods by which those who suf-
fered with too much fat emerge
from the vale of darkness and misery
to which their superfluous adipose
tissue had brought them" were re-
vealed when several letters we're in
troduced in the trial of the Marjorie
Cunningham fat reducing company
in the U. S. District Court.
A six-pound cannon ball, with
which he massaged his abdomen
helped Joe G.. Bozelle, Grand Bend,
Kan, to lose 40 pounds. 147 lemons
reduced the waist line of w. L.
Schmitz, Montevideo, Mimi, seven
inches. Rolling on the floor for three
weeks enabled Mrs. James C. Cotti,
st. Louis, Mo-, to draw her corset
strings five inches tighter.
In one of the letters, the father Of
a family took occasion to bespeak his
congratulations fluctuations and OBJ
legations to Marjorie Hamflton's anti
fat cure of cabbage leaves and cam
phor, a few exercises, a little abb
stention and some faith.
Mrs. N. w. Stout, who was little
more than stout, wrote from Col
orado City to Marjorie Cunningham,
saying, 'tthe treatment that got your
fat got mine"
In all, there were twelve baskets Of
letters brought into court by Walter
c. and Marjorie Cunningham, and
they intended to introduce every let
ter in their defense. The charge
against them is fraudulent use of the
mail in advertising and selling an
anti-fat" and an "anti-lean" cure
which were not effective in reducing
or increasing flesh.
