Judging from the countless pre-
partitions and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy,
developing arms, neck and bust, and
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 often
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 well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as
bitro- phosphate. which is inexpensive
and is sold by most all druggists un-
der a guaranteeof satisfaction or
money back. BY feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body
cells with the necessary phosphoric
food elements bitro- phosphate should
produce welcome Transformation in

weight frequently being astonishing
