They Used to Call Me "FAT EMMA" / The Personal Story of Emma Courtney "I will never forget the unhappy days when as a fat girl' I was the burt of all my friends' jokes. They referred to me as 'heavyweight,' 'Fat Emma' and other odious names. They never knew how deep these jokes cut into my feelings. But as I look back, I am certain that my friends were right, I was fat. Almost every dress I put on soon burst at the seams. Carrying so much weight tired my legs and weakened my ankles so I had no energy left at the end of the day. Although young and pretty, I found out that young men did not care for 'fatties.' "I was anxious to reduce, but everyone warned me against the ill effects that follow from the use of 'anti-fat' nostrums and violent exercising machines. I was desperate and didn't know what to do. "Then a kind friend told me of Miss Annette Kellermann and her wonderful reducing methods. Interested at once I wrote her and soon received her fascinating book, [The Body Beautiful.' and a lovely personal letter, explaining her course in detail and how I could easily reduce six to eight pounds a month — safely. I followed her instructions. In a few months I regained my youthful figure and have kept it ever since. Life is once more worth living." Simply write to Miss Kellermann for her new book. "The Body Beautiful," and you will be told, without obligation, all about her methods of reduction in a sane, sensible, beneficial way — the way that will increase your vitality and your strength, as it did Miss Courtney's.
