By Neutro!ds-Dr7 Graham's Famous Prescription Superfluous fat over-burdens the heart and affects the lungs, kidneys, stomach and all other organs. Stout men and women are the easiest victims of pneumonia. Trivial maladies, such as ptomaine poisoning or bronchial infections bring sudden andunex r^"" pected death to stout people where such a thing is unheard of when slender people are similarly affected, Realizing that obesity is a serious factor in shortening human life, Dr. R. Lincoln Graham, famous stomach specialist of New York, has devoted his life to finding a method for reducing obesity naturally without injury to the health of the patient in any way. Finally,after countless experiments in the laboratories of Europe and America, he developed and perfected his prescription known asKEUTROLDS. No Creams— No Baths— No Diet— No Exercise The fat in your body is caused by a simple chemical process. Yeast cells in the stomach combine with the starch and sugar of your food, causing fatty tissues instead of healthy lean muscle. Neutroids counter-act the action of these yeast cells and immediately overcome the formation of fat at its very source. Neutroids then aid nature in dissolving fatty tissue accumulated over a long period. Dr. Graham has prescribed Neutroids for thousands of people suffering from overweight who have visited his sanitarium. He personally guarantees that his prescription will give satisfactory results and that it contains no thyroid extract or habit forming drugs and can be taken with safety by all.
