Thin, Nervous People
 Need Bitro-Phosphate

Weak, thin peOp1e-men en or women
 are nearly always nervous wrecks;
 thus conclusively proving that thln-
 ness, weakness, debility and neuras-
 thenia are almost invariably due to
 and all these symptoms due to nerve
 starvation will disappear.
 Eminent specialists state that one
 of the best things for the nerves is an organic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro- Phosphate, five grain ablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and. not a stin1ulant or habit-forming drug, Bitro-Phosphatc can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and the results following it's use are often sim ply astonishing,
 By strengthening the nerves, weak, tired people regain energy and vigor; thinness and angularity give way to plumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheer fulness replace debility and gloom; dull eyes become bright, and pale, sunlSen cheeks regain the pink glow of health.
 CAUTION - Bitro-Phospha the use of which is inexpensive, also won- 1 derfully promotes the assimilation of ! food. so much so, that many people report marked gains of weight in a l few weeks. Those taking it who do 1 not desire to put on flesh. should use 1 extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods.
