Are You Fat? j
You know you can not stay fat, don't
you? That Is, you cannot bo fat and be In
style. - be day when a rat woman was
tolerated Is passed. Nowadays all women
miift be In proportion or be ridiculous. This
docs not mean you should become skinny,
however. You should not get below the
bars flesh line. All you ought to lose Is
the bulky fat. That done you will find
yourself to be a well formed and therefore
handsome woman.
Now, how can this be done? By exer
cising and dieting? Yes, and no. These
two means will bring some results, but not
easily nor soon. One Is very hard work;
the other Is torture. Besides, ' neither can
be depended on to cause a uniform reduc
tion. They may take off a fleshy shoulder,
for example, and leave the double chin un
touched. What you need, you see, Is some
thing pleasant to take that, without Injury
to your health, will take the fat off uni
formly and quickly, say at the rate of a
pound a day or so. until it Is all gone
where you want It to go.
ror this purpose nothing Is less exDen-
sive. safer or simpler than Marmola Pre
scription tablets. Inexpensive because one i
large case, costing 76 cents only, will pro- I
duce results; safe because they cause no
wrinkles or stomach trouble, but rather lm- I
prove the health and complexion, If any
thing; and simple, because they do sll the
work without asking thought or effort on
the part of the taker, in short, thev are
the ANSWER if you are fat and wish to be
minner. ir your druggist Is of the better
kind he will have them. If not, write the
