A Great Mistake.

Be content with Nature’s handiwork, my adiposo friend; you may not 4© with her. Stout women rnako a vast mistake in praying to be tliin, and recklessly adopting the Banting system. For every ten pounds lost, ten years are added to the looks of a naturally stout person. The waist may become a trifle more slender, but the loosened flesh and wrinkled skin tell a tale tfcat no woman wishes to have read on her; own face, to say the least. When victims of adipose rejoice in losing flesh through dieting, let them remember, that nature is not to bo trifled with,} even though she does not immediately hang out danger signals, for rheumatism and gout are lying in wait to re-, ward one lor being a fool in thus trying to “improve” upon her handiwork. ; So long as your health is good, do not fret about your appearance.
