MR. K. LEO MINGES. 



Inventors, scientists and physicians have for years been 

 trying to find some method whereby the height of an in- 

 dividual could be increased, and up to the last few years 

 have met with failure. It remained for a comparatively 

 young man, Mr. K. Leo Minges, by name, to discover 

 what so many others had failed to do. 



Mr. Minges resides in Rochester, N. Y., and has de- 

 voted the best part of hs life in studying and experiment- 

 ing on the Cartilage, and his great efforts have at last 

 been crowned with success. A large company, composed 

 cf Rochester's leading citizens, has been formed for the 

 purpose of placing Mr. Minges's discovery and inventions 

 before the public, so that now it is possible for any lady 

 or gentleman who is short to increase her or his height 

 from two to five inches. These results are absolutely 

 guaranteed. 



Mr. Minges has successfully used his method on him- 

 self, and has grown from a short, stunted boy to a hand- 

 some, robust man of six feet one inch in height. Thou- 

 sands of people living in all parts of the world are using 

 his method with equally as startling results. Let us send 

 you the absolute proof of the above statements. We have 

 just issued a beautifully illustrated book, entitled "How 

 to Grow Tall," which contains information that will sur-
