Take plain bitro- phosphate is the advice
of these physicians to thin delicate, nerv-
Gus people who lack vim, energy and nerve
force, and there seems to be ample proof
OF the efficacy of this preparation 10

we judge from the countless preparations

beauty. there are evidently thousands of
men and women who keenly feel their ex-
cessive 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

Sists as bitro- phosphate which IS inexpen-
