HOW TO GAIN TWENTY POUNDS,
ALSO HOW TO LOSE THEM
BY WILLIAM A. BRADY, NJ. D.


TNVERY little while some desperate
II correspondent writes to us to say
that she would give anything if she could
only find some safe way to grow fat or
lean to the extent of 20 pounds or such
n matter.
Here is the method, which we unquali-
fiedIy recommend to any individual who
is free from organic disease and wishes to
add or subtract the sum of 20 pounds to
or from an abnormal weight. There Is
lust one drawback about this method of
ours like many of our prescriptions: you
can't have it rubbed in by a hired SER
want" And some persons might object
that it is slow, but our answer to that
is that it is sure.
The treatment takes one year.
That will at once reduce the class to
convenient size, for most fat and thin
folk want to wither or expand in few
days or never.
Taken daily for one sober year any of
the following articles will add 20 pounds
to the weight-that is, If taken daily in
excess of a normal maintenance diet.
First Three slices Of bread.
Second One-third of a quart of milk
(three small glasses).
Third. Three-quarters of an ounce of
butter.
For fat persons, the problem is much
easier. All that is necessary is to cut
