HOW TO REDUCE
YOUR WEIGHT
A SIMPLE. SAFE, RELIABLE WAY

People who are over-burdened with
superfluous fat, know only too well the
discomfort and ridicult that Oyer-stout
people have to bear.
If you are carrying around five or
ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital or
gans and are carrying a burden which
destroys the beauty OF your figure.
There is no need of anyone suffering
from superfluous fat. If you want to
reduce your weight in simple, sac
and reliable way, without starvation
diet or tiresome exercise, here is test
worth trying. Spend as much time as
you can in the open air, breathe deep
ly and get from any good druggist a
box of oil of korein capsules; take one
after each meal and one before retiring
at night
Weigh yourself once a week so as to
know just how fast you are losing
weight and don't leave off the treat
ment or even skip a single does until
you are down to normal.
Oil or korein is absolutely harmless,
is pleasant to take, and helps digestion.
Even 4 few days treatment has been
reported to show noticeable reduction
in weight, footsteps become lighter,
your work seem easier and a lighter and
more buoyant feeling takes possession
of your whole being.
Every person who suffers from super
fluOus fat should give this treatment
a trial.

DRINK WATER TO
AVOID SICKNESS
SAYS AUTHORITY
Glass Of Hot Water Before
Breakfast Daily Keeps the
Doctor Away

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are Of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring researed
is the recommendation that it is as
necessary TO attend to internal santa
tion of the drainage system of the hu-
man body as it is to the drains Of the
house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting neadache, stuffy from 4 cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, insteaB feel as fresh as =
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing Oub
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-
ach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile ami
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing and
sweetening and purifying the entire al
imentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. Tie action Of
hot water and limestone Phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
yigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phOsphated not
water is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for thorough flushing OF
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness;
others who have sallow skins, blood dis
orders and sickly compilations are urg-
ed to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone pronounced crank on
the subject of internal sanitation.
