New Method Of
Reducing Fat

A news item from abroad informs
US that the American method of
producing a slim, trim figure is
meeting with astonishing success.
This system, which has made such a
wonderful impression over there,
must be the Marmola Prescription
Tablet method of reducing fat. 1t
is safe to say that We have nothing
better for this purpose in this coun-
try. Anything that will reduce the
excess flesh two, three or four
pounds a week, without injury to the
stomach. the causing of wrinkles,
the help of exercising or dieting, or
interference with ones meals is a
mighty important and useful addi-
tiOn TO civilizations necessities.
Just such a catalogue Of good re-
s''lts. however, follow the use of
these pleasant, harmless and eco
homical little fat reducers. We say
economical because Marmola Pre-
scriptiOn Tablets Cmade in accord
4nce with the famous prescription
can be obtained of any druggist or
the makers, the Marmola Co, S65
woodward Ave, Detroit, Mich. for
one dollar the large case, which is
decidedly economical price con-
Sidering the number of tablets each
