People all about you can tcstifyto that.
Most Of the slender figures seen today
have been won in easy ways. Many have
been won by Marmola prescription tab
lets, based on a modern scientific discov-
cry. People have used Marmola for 70
presentations of boxes Of It. Now
slender figures in almost every circle
show what Marmola does.
A book in each box Of Marmola gives
the formula and states the scientific rea-
IONS for results. So users realize how
and why effects are beneficial. A way
which has done so much for so many
deserves a test from you. Make il now,
watch the results for a little while, then

After that, the earth will begin tn

These meteor showers, Captain
Freeman explains, follow in about

will not see again until 1885. These
meteors form a closed ring or end

and the earth always finds them In
