MAKES FAT PEOPLE SUM Now York Physician Perfects Harmless Method of Reducing Weight Thu loss of as much as a pound of excess tat a day with no harmful remilts Is the record made by many patients of Dr. It. Newman, a licensed practicing physician of 286 Fifth Avenue, New York, who announces that he has perfected a treatment which has quickly rid fat people of excess weight. What is more remarkable Is the Doctor’s statement that he has successfully treated thousands of patients for fat reduction without change of diet or unnecessary exercise. It is also said tliat fat people who suffer from chronic rheumatism, gout, asthma high blood pressure obtain great relief from the reduction of their superftouous flesh. Realisng that this sounds almost too good to be true, the Doctor has offered to send without charge to anyone who will write him, a free trial treatment to prove his claims, as well as his "Pay-when-reduced” plan. If you want to rid yourself of superfluous fat, write him today, addressing Dr. R Newsman, 256 Fifth Avenue, New York City, Dept.
