Splendid Way To
Reduce Your Weight

There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing OF our
youth as the horrible tendency TO put
on too much weight after we have
reached the age OF 25 or so years,
However young our faces may appear.
the sagging, tiabby figure and forty
inch waist gives us away"
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is not
enough oxygen in the blood to pro-
duce a proper combustion to destroy
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people
will be pleased to learn of a simpIe
home method that is wonderfully ef-
ficient in reducing weight, quickly
and easily without starving diet,
violent massage or strenuous exer-
else. Go to any drug store and get
a box OF Phynola; take five grains
after each meal and a. bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re-
lief from overburdening fat Ply
nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit of
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from any
part of the body where there is excess
sive fat. BY this method many have
reduced their weight a pound a day
and there is no fiabbiness left. Gorgas.

r v \.

Judging from the countless prepa-
rations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy
developing arms, neck and bust, and
replacing ugly hollows and angles
beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thtnness.
Thinness and weakness are often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is con-
tanned in modern foods. Physicians
claim there is nothing that will sup
ply this deficiency so we'll as the Or
ganic phosphate known among drug
gists as itro-phosphate. which is in
expensive and is sold by most all
druggists under a guarantee of sat
isfaction 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 welcome
transformation in the appearance f;
the increase in weight frequently be-
ing astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries
with it a general improN ement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinneSs,
should soon disappear, duh eyes
ought to brighten and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect
health.
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness. sleeplessness and gem
eral weakness, 1t should not, owing
to it's tendency to increase weight
be used by anyone who does not de-
sire to put on flesh.
