EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IN THE  TREATMENT OF OBESITY.  Our corpulent readers will he glad to learn how to positively lose two stone in about a month, with the greatest possible benefit in health, strength, and muscle, by a comparatively new system It is a singnlir paradox that the patient, returning quickly too healthy state, with increased activity of brain, digestive and other organs, naturally requires more food than hitherto, yet, notwithstanding this, he absolutely loses in weight one or two Donnie daily, as the weighing machine will prove. Thus there is no suggestion of starvation. It is an undoubted anccese, and the author, who has devoted years of study to the subjects guarantees a noticeable reciuction within twenty-four hour's of tenareencing the treatintut.

Here, we repeat, the author guarantees it in twenty-four times, the scale to be the unerring recorder.. The treatment aims at the actual root of obesity, ao that the superflnous fat does not return when discontinuing the treatment. It is perfectly harmless. We advise our readers to call the attention of etont friends to this, because, sincerely, we think they ought to know. For their information we may say that on vending four penny stamps, a hook entitled "Corpulency and the Core " (256 pages), containing a reprint of Preen notices from some hundreds of medical and other journala—British and foreign—and other interesting particulars, including the book containing the 'recipe," can be had post free from a Mr. F.C.
