Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thin people heshy. developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curve1 lines OF health
and beauty. there are evidently thousands
Of men and women who keenly feel theif
excessive 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 80 well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
glsts MS bitrO-phosnhate. which Is mex
pensive and Is sold by Danf0rth and most
an druggists under a guarantee OF satis-
fnction or money back. BY feeding the
nerves directly and by supplying the body
cells with the necessary phosphorie FOOD
clements. bitro- phosphate should produce
a welcome transformation In the appear
ance: the increase In weight frequently
being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with II
general Improvement In the health. Nerv-
business, sleeplessness and lack OF energy,
which nearly always accompany excessive
thinness, should soon disappear. duh eyes
brighten and pale cheeks glow with the
bloom Of perfect health.

necessary money, and the merchants
