Getting I % Fat?
 Try This-Reduce

People who don't grow too fat are the fortunate exception. But if you find the fat accommodating or already cumbersome you will be wise to follow this suggestion, which is endorsed by thousands of people who know. Ask your druggist for Mar mola Prescription Tablets and follow di- rections. One dollar is the price the world over. Get them from your own druggist or send price direct to Marmola Co.,, 4Gl2 Woodward Ave, Detroit. Mich. By doing this you will be safe from harmful drugs and be able to reduce steadily and easily, without starvation diet or tiresome eSer- else.
