Answer-() Since the condition you
complain OF was due to loss OF weight.
the logical way to correct it is to gain
weight again. The bones are promi-
nent because the flesh over them has
fallen away. As local treatment you
may massage your throat and chest
every day to stimulate the circulation
and aid indirectly in rebuilding the
shrunken tissues. Cultivate correct
posture also. ca Lie down on the floor
