IF Thin AND

PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bltro- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and

When one stops to consider the host
Of thin people who are searching con-
tinually for some method by which thew

While excessive thlnness might be at

known fact that the lack Of sufficient
PHOSPHORUS In the human system IL
very largely responsible for this ron
dition, Experiments on humans and
animals by many scientists have dem
onstrated beyond question OF doubt
that a body deficient in PHOSPHORUS
becomes nervous, slckly and thin. A
noted author and professor in his book,
Chemistry and Food Nutrition" pub
lished in 1918, says: ".s. that the
amount Of PHOSPHORUS required for the
normal nutrition Of man Is seriously
underesttmated in many Of our stand
ard textbooks"
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorcus may now
be met by the use Of an organic phos-
nhate known throughout English speak
ing countries as Bitro- Phosphate.
Through the assimilation of this phos-
phate by the nerve tissue the phos-
phoric content when absorbed In the
amount normally required by nature
qoon produces 4 welcome change In our
body and mind, Nerve tension disap-
