Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

The answer of most fat people is
that it is too hard, too troublesome
and too dangerous to force the weight
down. However, in Marmola Pres
cription Tablets, all these difficulties
are overcome. They are absolutely
harmless, entail no dieting or exer-
else. and have the added advantage
of cheapness. A large case is sold
by druggists at 75c. Or if preferable,
they can be obtained by sending price
direct to the Marmola Co., S64 Wood
ward Ave, Detroit. Mich. Now that
you know this you have no excuse
for being too fat, but can reduce two,
three or four pounds week with
out fear OF bad after-effects.
