And their superfluous weiKht disappeared, melted away — by a rapid, natural, safe process. "I am glad I tried your way of reducing weight," writes one delighted woman from Montana. "I lost fifty pounds and feel so much better." Still another writes, "I have .taken off twenty pounds of my surplus flesh. I find that I am able to reduce just as fast or as slow as I desire." And one man who reports that he has always been 25 pounds overweight writes an enthusiastic letter in which he says, "I have reduced my weight 25 pounds without discomfort." Scientists have been searching for this very secret of weight control for years. It is not a fad or a theory. It is not an expensive "treatment" or a series of selfsacrifices and denials. It's just a simple little natural law that anyone can follow with ease. You Too Can Quickly Reduce to Normal You can begin right away, the moment you make up your mind, to lose as much weight as you wish. You can so regulate this remarkable new law that has been discovered, that you can reach your ideal weight in a definite time. You can take off just as much or as little fat as you please — and whenever you please. When you reach your normal, perfect weight you can retain it without gaining or losing another ounce. Some people report that they have reduced weight at the rate of ten pounds a week. Otliers arrange to take off a pound of fat a day. Some apply this new method so that they reach their ideal weight in a month's time — taking it more gradually. For instance, one man who lives in Hickory, N. C, writes: "I arranged to lose three pounds per woeU. and by the middle of May I weighed just what I wanted to — 175 pounds." Only a short while before he had weighed 205 pounds. The Secret Explained Everyone knows that food causes fat. But why do some people become fat and others remain thin? Why may thin people eat whatever they please without seeming to gain an ounce, while fat people who deny themselves the food they would like to eat, continue to put on flesh? Specialists realized that there must be some vital natural law of food upon which the whole secret of weight control is based. It was to discover this secret that Eugene Christian, the world's foremost food specialist, began his remarkable experiments. For a long time the secret remained hidden, because of its very simplicity. But now that Christian has made his important discovery, it exceeds even his greatest hopes. He discovered that certain foods, when eaten together, take off weight Instead of adding to it I Certain food combinations cause fat: others consume fat. If you eat certain binds of food together at the same meal, they arc converted into fat In the body. But if you eat these very same two foods at different times, they are converted into blood and muscle, and the fat you already have is used up in energy! Eat Off Flesh by New Method And now people are actually eating off weight; Men who were formerly so stout tliat they puffed when they wallied Quickly, men who had to deny themselves many pleasures because of their burdensome flesh, report that their return to normal weight and youthful energy was amazingly rapid. Stout women who always felt tired and listless, who had to deny theraselyes the colorful, fluffy clothes they would like to wear, marvel that this one simple little rule should enable them to attain their ideal weight so quickly. And not only have they eaten down to normal, but they enjoy their meals more than ever before, they feel refreshed, brightened, strengthened. A delighted woman writes, "I now weigh 137 pounds — just what I should weigh. I feel so splendid, and everyone says how 'just-right' I am." Remember, you don't have to starve yourself, or follow a rigid diet, or put ynurselt to any discomfort through this new method of flesh reduction. Tou eat off the fat you want to lose; eat it off as quickly or as slowly as you wish. Tou control your weight just as you control your speech or the pace at which you walk. Weight Control the Basis of Health Mr. Christian has incorporated his remarkable food revelations In 12 simple lessons which he calls "Weight Control— the Basis of Health." And to enable everyone, everywhere, to profit by his valuable discovery, he offers to send his complete course on trial to anyone sending for it.
