PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bltro. Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vioor
and Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless prepara-
tons and treatments which are contin-
ually being advertised for the purpose
of making thin people fleshy, develop
ing arms. neck and bust, and replacing
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 excessive
thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there IL 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 Washburn- LYLE in Memphis
and most all druggists under a guar
antee of satisfaction or money back,
BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the
necessary ~phosphoric food elements,
bitro-phosphate should produce a well
come transformation in the appearance;
the increase In weight frequently be-
ing astonishing,
Increase in weight also carries with
Il a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
| energy, which nearly always accompany
| excessive thinness. should soon dis
| appear, dull eyes ought to brighten and
| pale cheeks glow with the bloom Of
perfect health.
CAUTION-Although bitro phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervous
ness, sleeplessness and general weak
| ness, 1t should not, owing to its tend
| ency to increase weight, be used by
anyone who does lot desire to put on
flesh. adv,
