Thin, Nervous People
Need BitrO- phosphate

Weak, thin people-men or women-are
nearly always nervous wrecks; thus con
clusively proving that thinness, weakness,
debility and neurasthenia are almost in
variably due to nerve starvation. Feed
your nerves and all these symptoms due
to nerve starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one Of
the best things for the nerves is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists as Bitro Phosphate, five grain tab
let of which should be taken with each
meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and
not a stimulant or habit-forming drug,
Bitro- Phosphate can be safely taken by
the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and
the results following its use are often
simply astonishing.
BY Strengthening the nerves, weak. tired
people regain energy and vigor; thinness
and angularity give way to plumpness and
curves; sleep returns to the sleepless
confidence and chcerfulness replace debil-
ity and gloom: dull eyes become bright,
and pale. sunken cheeks regain the pink
glow of health.
CAUTION-Bitro-P Phosphate, the use of
which is inexpensive, also wonderfully pro-
notes the assimilation of food: so much so.
that many Ieople report marked gains of
weight in few weeks. Those taking it
who do not desire to put on flesh, should
use extra care in avoiding fat-producing
