HOW

TO BE HAPPY THOUGH SLIMMING

The temptation to reduce one's weight in these days when clothes are all designed for the slender is almost irresistible. But so many women seem to lose their heads about slimming. They go in for wild bursts of harsh mineral salts and patent slimming treatments. Or they starve themselves cruelly. Such violent, spasmodic methods are utterly useless-harmful, and what's worse, they don't make you permanently slim. If you want to elim successfully, you must look after yourself. As any doctor will tell you, when elimination slows down, fat collects. And the most effective way to prevent such a thing ever happening is to do as the radiant and happy Mrs. Cans.' of this world do and take ENO'S. 'Fruit Salt every morning. Eno never allows nature to flag. Never allows fat-encouraging waste to clog your machinery. It keeps every part of your system active, clean and healthy. Its action is always gentle- always effective. It forms no habit. If you want to keep your schoolgirl figure, and incidentally your youthful complexion, by far the safest and best way is to put yourself on to ENO. There are no harsh minerals in it to upset you. No sugar to hold back its work of slimming. Drink a sparkling glass every morning. You'll take off pounds-permanently.

:-

Eno's Fruit Salt' is sold by all chemists and compradore stores in the handy size and the double quantity household bottle.
