If women and men only knew the pity, the gibes and the ridicule, that pinched į cheeks, scrawny chests and scarecrow figures make, they would certainly do something to add flesh to their bones, and round out their figures,
Even thin people that see this announcement know that this is the truth. If thin, and so-called skinny people only knew that their lack of weight is caused by a lack of the system to turn the food they eat into firm, hard flesh they would not lose all hope. It is a simple act to make flesh, provided you do it in a perfectly nateral manner, The food you eat and the water you drink contain every quality that goes to make flesh, but if the digestive juices, the stomach and the digestive canal do not take out of this food everything that the system demands, then of course the body is impoverished, and draws upon what little flesh you have for the nourishment it needs,
