 There's reason why 90 many people find dieting slow and often times futile In rec ducing. The reason, doctors say, 10 often because Q little gland is not working right. All the blood In your body goes through this tiny gland sixteen times every day. If it doesn't pour into the blood stream about one and one.half drops of vital fluid every el hours, many people take on ugly fat. This fluid helps Nature to "burn up" excess food and, fatty tissue in much the same way -as . good ''draft" acts in . furnace. Now physlcians combat this condition by feeding this gland the substance 1t lacks - and miIlionS of pounds of exceas fat has been wiped out In this way.

There is absolutely no historical
