steady countrywide decrease in over

which can be made az home with very
little trouble as far the best and il
doubtless costs the least. Put four
ounces Of parnotis, which YOU can get
from your druggist. in 1 10 pints hot
water and strain when cool. Take
tablespoonful before meals until
weight IS where you want it, No harm
results from the use Of the parnotis
treatment, and the flesh is left solid
and the skin soft and smooth.
