Makes Fat People Slim
New York Physician Per-

Method of Reduc-
ing Weight.

DR.. R. Newman, licensed prac-
ticing physician, of 2S6 Fifth Ave
nue., New York, announces that he
has perfected a treatment which
has quickly rid fat people Of eX-
cess weight. What is more remark
able is the Doctors statement that
he has successfully treated thou
sands of patients for fat reduction
without unnecessary change of diet
or burdensome exercise. He also
says that fat people who suffer
from chronic rheumatism and govt
obtain great relief from the re-
duction of their superfluous flesh.
Realizing that this sounds almost
too good to be true, the Doctor has
offered to send without charge, to
anyone who will write him, free
trial treatment to prove his claims,
as well as his "Pay-when-reduced"
plan. If you want to rid yourself
Of superfluous fat, write him today,
