As a bodily affliction Obesity often seems to be inexplicable, so rapid is the increase of weight and bulk, even in cases where the victims are studious ly temperate in eating, etc. There is evidently a predisposition that way, and neglect only tends to confirm it. The remedies tried may have grievous ly disappointed you. Here is one that will not do so, ami you may get the ingredients at your druggist's and mix them yourself with out trouble: Ask for 1-2 oz. Marmola, 1-2 oz. Fluid Extract Cascara Aro matic and 3 1-2 oz. Peppermint Water. Shake together in a good-sized clean bottle. Simply take this mixture af ter each meal and at bedtime, one teaspoonful to the dose, and give your self no further trouble; the superflu ous fat will subside with wonderful rap idity. Dieting need not wory you in the least, nor is violent exercising at all desirable. Wasting methods of weight reduction are not. natural. Try the pleasant treatment above prescribed for a week or so, and you will be fit, Ktrontr aiirl free from all bodilv discom fort, besides having regained correct weight and a shapely figure.
