I WILL TELL YOU FREE HOW TO REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT. I was just a strong youi-„ ooiuan, full of life and vigour, and fond of good things to eat, enjoying life to its fullest extent, when suddenly my weight began to increase, and, strong as I was, I began to feel the burden, especially as I am a business woman and have plenty of work to do. While my earthly self was rapidly assuming abnormal proportions, the progress in this direction brought sorrow and consternation, because I knew that I must give up business or reduce my weight. 1 began to feel lonely, because I felt that my company was no longer desired. One day an Inspiration came to me. after I had spent time, money, and patience in vain efforts to become slim again. I acted upon tills Inspiration, and succeeded. I did not use drugs, practise tiresome exercises nor starvation diet, nor wear any appliances, but reduced myself by a simple home method, and, although this Is some time ago, I have never gained any weight since, and my health is as good as I could wish. You could reduce your weight the same as I have done, and I will tell you how, free. If you will enclose two penny stamps to pay postage. — W.
