would be lost very slowly. I decided to try the herbs as my abdomen 

 was burdened with excess fat and my stomach was bloated. After 

 having completed a four-weeks' treatment, I weighed 18 pounds less. 



Before I began to take the herbs, I told my friends of my new plan 

 for reducing but none of them would believe it would be possible for 

 the herbs to relieve me of my excess upholstery. 



Now I am happy and grateful not only for flesh reduce^ but also 

 for having been relieved of that tired, drowsy feeling which made work 

 a burden. I am feeling stronger all over and I work from 9 a. m. until 

 5 p. m. without being tired. JEAN MEAD.
