THIN PEOPLE
SHOULDTAkE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Hsalthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are con
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin peoeple fleshy, de-
veleplng arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines Of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
eessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that win supply this def
cheney so well as the organic phosphate
known among druggists as bitro-phos-
phate, which is inexpensive and is sold
by most all druggists under a guaran-
tee of satisfaction or money back. By
feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the nee
esary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate quickly produces welcome
transformation in the appearance; the
increase in weight frequently being
astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general Improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
CAUTION = Although, bitro-phos.
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh.
