when another ship appeared on the
horizon and her captain expressed
doubt that she had been seen by
any other vessel.

and the city was instantly befag-

TRY OIL OF kOREIN TO KEEP
WEIGHT DOWN, OR TO RE-
DUCE SUPERFLuoUS
FAT.

People who are confined within
doors and who are deprived of fresh,
inyigvating air must exercise, must
take precautions to guard against
oyer-stoutness, as fat acquired by
indoor life is unhealthy and a danger
to the vital organs of the body. Lack
of exercise in the fresh air is said
to weaken the oxygen carrying pow
er of the blood, so that it is unable
to produce strong muscles and vitali-
ty and the formation Of unsightly and
unhealthy fat is the result.
If YOU are - or 20 pounds above
normal weight you are daily draw
ing on your reserve strength and are
constantly lowering your vitality by
carrying this excess burden. Any
persons who are satisfied in their
own mind that they are too stout are
advised to go to a good druggist
and get box of oil of kOrein cap
sules, and take one after each meal
and one Just before retiring at night.
Even a few days treatment has
been reported to show a noticeable
reduction in weight, improved diges-
tion and a return of the old energy;
footsteps become lighter and the skin
less flabby in appearance as super
flous fat disappears.
Oil Of Korein is inexpensive. cannot
injure, and helps the digestion. Any
person who wants to reduce Is or
20 pounds is advised to give this
treatment trial City Drug Store
can supply you. o.
