EAT LESS And TAKE
BITRO-PHOS TE
TO PUT ON FLESH
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

Frederick S. Kolle, NJ. D., editor Of
New York Physicians, who's Who"
says that weak, nervous people who
want increased weight, strength and
nerve-force, should take a 5-grain
tablet of Phosphate just before
or during each meal.
This particular phosphate is the
discovery of a famous French scien~
fist, and reports of remarkable re-
suits from its use have recently ap-
peared in many medical journals.
If you do not feel we'll; if you tire
easily; do not sleep well, or are too
thin; go to any good druggist and
get enough Bitro-Phosphate for two
weeks supply-it costs only fifty
cents a week.
Eat less; chew your food thor
oughly, and if at the end of few
weeks you do not feel stronger and
better than you have for months; if
your nerves are not steadier; if you
do not sleep better and have more
vim, endurance and vitality, your
money will be returned, and the BIZ
tro-Phosphate will cost you nothing.
