continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people feshy

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 usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency SO we'll as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as
biCro-phosphate. which Is inexpensive
and is sold by most all druggists un-

directly and by supplying the BODY
cells with the necessary phosphoric
food elements. bitro-phosphate quick

in the appearance; the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general Improvement in the
lack of energy. which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright
and pale cheeks glow with the bloom
of perfect health.

The easiest way of avoiding a

keep out of it in the first place. And
another very good way these mo-

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples,
rashes, blackheads in most cases give
way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blem-
ishes disappear over night. Itching u.s.
ually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only Csc; an ex-
ira large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain,
is not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
