Rensselaer Union, Volume 11, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 October 1878 — The Fat Men’s Convention. [ARTICLE]

The Fat Men’s Convention.

We can see some pleasure, if no reason, in the convening of a baby show, but we confess we could never see the slightest cause, reasonable or otherwise, for a fat men’s convention, unless it be the fact that misery loves company. For fifty or a hundred men, whose several weights range from two hundred to three hundred pounds, to hold a convention simply because of so much surplus avoirdupois, is absurd, to say the least. It becomes doubly so when we reflect that obesity is a disease. What would we think of as many persons emaciated by consumption holdings convention to compare their relative weights! There is but one ground upon which we would advocate another fat men’s convention, and that is that they will meet to discuss the merits of Allan’s Anti Fat, the only known remedy for obesity. It is safe and reliable. Sold by druggists.
