THIN PEOPLE

Judging from the countless prepara- tlons and treatments which afe cen tinually being advertised for the pur- pose of making thin people heshy, de- veloping 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 keei1iy feel their excessive 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 deficiency so well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate. which is inexpensive and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all faction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the neeessafy phos- phoric food elements, bitro phosphate quickly produces welcome trans formation in the appearance; the in- crease in weight frequently being ases tonishing.
 This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health Nervousness, sleepiessness ezld lack of energy. which nearly. always disappear, dull eyes become brighf. and pale cheeks glow with the b.o5n of perfect health.
