 As I wish to keep the confidence or readers l shall not estimate how many tons of stacker flesh overweight persons have cast off in the past few months by follow ing tho new scientific method of reduction which I am glad to give any reader who will tell me he or she is over weight and incIoses stamped addressed envelope. But while all this remarkably easy slenderizing has been going on have never for moment lost night of, the plight of the frights. This talk is for their especial bene- fit.
 For several years I have been urging the insulin treatment on skinny readers. From the letters they write estimate that, one in three who sought such treatment got it. and invariably those who l received insulin added much de- sired weight or flesh. Two out of three who sought the treatment met with rebuffs or plain dumbness But gradually, year by year, the rank and file of the, profession is learning about this and todaN there is scarcely hamlet or vil- laSe where, there is not a, doctor or two who can and will give in- sulin treatment to. healthy thin person to make him put on weight.
 Typical is this report from my Michigan scout: t,.. z:
 i have mentioned several times to our doctor that I would like to take the treatment, but he has al- ways brushed the suggestion aside At first he said l would add weight naturally after my baby .<. but l am thinner than ever. Last week I asked the doctor If he couldn't teach me how to take t-e insulin myself He said he might, out hastened to make me promise to take egg-nogs in addi- ton 10 meals for three weeks be- lore starting insulin. Candidly ne IS splendid doctor but I doubt If he knows much about the use of insulin for the purpose of adding weight" -..
 Not every skinny patient can learn to take insulin himself. In any case where the doctor feels the administration of the dose may be entrusted 10 the patient, it is only for economy of the doctors time. He should see the patient at least twice or three times u week throughout the course of insulin treatment. In such circumstances the doctor may properly instruct the patient how to take his own shots between times.
 Physicians with much experience in the treatment of undcrweight or poor nutrition with insulin use three times day. The patient is advised to take, and soon will crave, a liberal diet. Besides build- ing up the weight and flesh, this treatment generally gives a new feeling of well being, vigor, inter- est in life. The appetite improves There is better digestion. Of course the insulin insures better assimilation. The number of red corpuscles in the blood shows a gain. 70 -~.1 -~%,
