TODAY, an amazing, new reducing
method is sweeping the country. A
method which offers at last, q way to
take Oh ugly fat without suffering a
hungry moment-and without taking
strenuous exercises or drugs. A method
which increases physical and mental
energy as excess weight disappears.
Under the direction of the eminent DR..
pamrau of New York, q number of
people who were gaining at the rate of TX.
pounds month, followed this remarkable
method. And the average loss registered
was Z pounds per person in single month,
Consider that carefully.
This Is All You Do
This sensational reducing method simply
calls for this: Mix q CT glass of Welch's
Grape Juice, with 4 CT a glass of water,
and drink before each medl-dnd at bedtime.
Theneatsensibly, and this iswhathappens.
First, Welch's Grape Juice satisfies your
craving for rich, sweet foods. You have
less desire to over-eat fattening foods
yet you do feel comfortably satisfied.
Second. the grape sugar in Welch's is
quickly burned up-producing vital en-
ergy. And, most important, helps nature
10 consume excess LAT.
Third, the juice has an alkalizing effect
on the system which any doctor will tell
you is highly beneficial.
This is why weight is not only lost natur-
ely and safely-often at the rate of 7
pounds a month, or more-but why you
feel so much better and stronger as your
ugly fat disappears.
Only One Thing to Watch
In following this proved, SAFE way to
lose ugly fat-eat sensibly-and be sure
to use Welch's pure, aged, unadulterated
full-strength grape juice. Made from the
finest grapes grown. No water added; no
artificial coloring. Good Housekeeping
approved. Insist upon the genuine Welch's
Grape Juice for the results you want.
