Strong, Straight forward Advice Il
Thin, I ndeNelOpcd Men and Women

IF you are thin, scrawny and I'M
developed. if your face is peaked and
your cheeks and neck exhibit UNI
slightly hollows, it's almost certain
that your nervous system is at the
bottom of the trouble. You can eat
three. yes four. substantial. fat pro-
ducing meals day, but as long as
your stomach has an insuffi cient sup
oily of nerve force this food you cat
will pass out of the body with little
if any benefit.
In order to assimilate properly the
nourishing food YOU cat and convert
it into healthy tissue and fat. the
nerves that control the process of di-
gestion and assimilation must be put
in flrst-class shape and until that is
done YOU might just as well quit try
ing to put on flesh Your system is
starving for something that will turn
the food you eat into healthy stay
there flesh and it -can only be done
in one way--by correcting faulty
nervous digestion.
