If You Take Bitro-P Phosphate
 Says Dr. F. s. Kolle

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are con tinually being advertised for the pur- veloping arms, neck and bust, and re- placing ugly honows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their ex- cessive 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 will supply this de- ficieacy so well as the organic phosphate known by The Lee & Osgood Go. and druggists as bitro-phosphate, which is druggists under a guarantee of satis- faction or money back.

MORE WEIGHT, STRENGTH,
 VICOR AND NERVE

York Physicians Who's Who" says: .Bitro-Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hos pital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood"
 By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphorie food elements bitro- phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appear ance; 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 fesh-growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.
