Miss Ethel Balcom and' Miss Helen Editor of “Physician’s Who's Who” Makes Important Statement. Judging from the countless prepara. tions and" treatments which are conti ually being advertised for the purpo of making thin people fieshy, develo ing arms, neck and bust, and Teplacing ugly holiows and angles by the Soft, curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually Que to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this def- ciency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phos. phate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Tee & Osgood and most all drug- gists under:a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. 'By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the. neceasary phosphorio f00d elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a_welgome transformadion in the appearance, the inerease in welght frequently being astonishing. 3 Clinical tests made in St. Catherine's hospital, N.

Fred- erick Kolle, ., editor of New York Physician's “Who's Who, “Bitro- Phosphate should bhe rescribed by every doctor and used in every hopital to increase strength and nerve force and to serrich the blcod.” Joseph D.
