A FAT WOMAN
. HATES SOCIETY
Fat people have to get into clothes
that are designed for people of normal
physique. The men wear drew ' suits
and .look like comic pictures. The
women wear low: necked dresses to
their evident humiliation. .: This :is why
It is often said that a fat woman hates
society.* Fat Is as i much "i the : mistake
of poor health as anything else. The
things ! that make fat should be mak
ing good blood, bone and nerves. The
secret- Is that* the digestive machinery
is out of gear. The Juices make fat in
too large quantities. This fat impedes
circulation, cramps the heart, sup
presses the liver, crowds the. lungs and
! interferes with the stomach. Marmola
Tablets are harmless. They are taken
after each meal. They help digest that
meal as nature Intended it should be
digested. They remove the fat already
made at the rate of from 12 to IB
ounces a day and they leave no flabby
.skin or wrinkles. They are sold wher
ever' drugs are sold, or In the same
category with harmful patent fat re
ducers. They contain Marmola, Cas
cara Aromatic and Peppermint water.
If you do not care to call upon your
druggist, send 75. cents to The Mar
mola Co., 246 Farmer Bldg., Detroit,
Mich., and they will send you a large,
full size case by; return mail In plain
■ package, postage paid. •
