Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE.
Nothing Like Plain Bltro.P Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vlgor
90 and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thin people ieshy, developing 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 Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bltro-p phosphate which is mex
pensive and Is sold by most all druggists
nnder a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements bltro-
phosphate should produce welcome
transformation Ia the appearance; the In
crease In weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase In weight also carries with il
Z. general Improvement In the health.
Nervousness, sleepessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dun
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health
CAUTION: = Although bltro-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness II
should not, owing TO Its tendency to in
crease weight. be used by anyone WHO
does not desire to put on flesh.
