Him Look Deformed

Excess fat is unhealthy and unplea- sant--for both men and women. It should be got rid of whenever it ap- pears, whether early in life or late. This man, for all his three score years and ten, determined to reduce his weight. Read how he succceded:—

insisted that he was only doing his duty and refused to accept any gra- tuity.

internal organs to throw off each day the wastage and polsons that encum- ber the system. Then, little by little, that ugly fat disappears.

"My gratitude," says the Professor, "was naturally increased.”
