LLaN’S anti-fat. LLAN’S ANTI-FAT. * LLAN'S ANTI-FAT (Trade Mark “Anti-Fat,” registered) is tlie celebrated American remedy for corpulency. It is purely vegetable, being a compound concentrated fluid extract of sea lichens, and is perfectly harmless. No particular change of diet required. Will reduce a fat person from 21b to 51b a week. It. acts upon the food in the stomach, preventing its conversion into fat. •* Corpulency is not only a disease of itself, but the harbinger ot others,” wrote Hippocrates 2000 years ag-., and what was true then is no less so to-day. The consequences of obesity are often more serious than is generally supposed. The thick accumulations of fat in the tissues mechanically oppress adjacent organs, thereby producing dvspncea (shortness of breath) and disturbances in the circulation, characterised by palpitation of the heart, faint ing. determination of blood to the brain, deiangements of the stomach, liver, kidneys, uterus &c. In consequence of the congestion of the stomach, the patient becomes dyspeptic, and is tormented with flatulency, acidity of the stomach, and eructations. The impediments to a free circulation of the blood, and the increased pressure of the masses of fat throughout, the system on the blood vessels, produce a determination of blood to the brain, whence arise somnolency, torpor of the mental and physical functions, and not unfrequently apoplexy. Obesity is undoubtedly a not infrequent cause of fatty degeneration of the heart and liver. Speaking of the heart, a late author says : —“Some of the instances of sudden death of fat people may be rea-onably ascribed to a rupture of the organ in this weakened state.” ALLAN’S ANT I-FAT is absolutely harmless. We are daily c nsulted by letter and other ise by those who desire to know if the ANTI-FAT is truly a harmless medicine, to which inquiries we can, from our large observation, most sincerely and positively answer in the affirmative, but various other questions are propounded by those who, from having regarded their obesity an indication of health, are fearful of injurious effects from a remedy known to reduce corpulency. One wants to know “if the fat is removed, will tlie skin not be wrinkled o furrowed?” A knowledge of the anatomy of the human skin, and of its wonderful contractile nature, is on y necessary to convince any person who might have simil <r apprehensions that the skin readily adapts itself to a changed habit of body. Not only is tlie skin not furrowed by a reduction of corpulency, but from the alterative or blood-purifyi g effects of this medicine the skin when blotched or rough is made more smooth, clear, and beautiful. ALLAN’S ANTI-FAT requires no particular change of diet while using it. S nee writing our first lii tie circular treati e upon the subject of corpulence many hundreds of cases have come under our personal observation, and in all good results have followed the use of the Anti Fat. In no case has any unpleasant or injurious effect been produced. Instead of regarding obesity as an abnormal condition, many people have erroneously considered it as an evidence of health, and any agent that reduces fat is therefore at once suspected of being injurious. Starting to reason from the false posit on that fat is an evidence of health, it is not surprising that they should wry naturally fall into the error f supposing that an agent possessing properties capable of reducing corpulency would prove injurious to the health, reasoning, however, from the rational basis that an undue deposition of fat, constituting obesity, is not a healthy but a morbid condition, it is quite as natural for us to arrive at the ooposite conclusion, which is sustained by experience and observation, i c , that the reduction of fat in cases of corpulency is invariably followed by an improvement of strength, spirits, and physical comforts.
ALLAN’S ANTI-FAT must be used perseveringly. A very extensive observation has convinced us that in the majority of cases the ANTI-FAT must be taken from two to three, and in rare cases, even four weeks before the patient will begin to not ce much reduction of flesh, after which the loss goes <m rapidly—generally from three to five pound a week To the over-sanguine we desire to say that ALLAN'S ANTI-FAT does not possess miraculous power. It’s workings are in harmony with Nature's laws. It is one of Nature’s remedies. It overcomes the morbid condition of obesity by removing the exciting cause, acting upon the food in the stomach, and p eventing the conversion of starch and sugar into fat. As systems vary in their susceptibility to medicines, so some, because the experience of a neighbor, on using one bottle of ANTI-FAT, has not been fully realised, refuse a trial. Is it reasonable to suppose that a condition that has existed for years can be thus easily oveicome? Take a case of dyspepsia, for example, where the functions cf the stomach have b come deranged, would any one expect an immediate cure, even though the most effective medicine be employed? Precisely similarly must the cure of this abnormal condition —obesity—be effected. The functions of the stomach are in an abnormal condition, and must be corrected by a gradual process. ALLAN’S ANTI-FAT, endorsed by those eminent in the medical profession. THOMAS FAIRBANK, M.D., of Windsor, Surgeon to her Majesty the Queen, referring to ANTIFAT in the “British Medical Journal” of June 7, 1879, says: -I gave some of this extract (Fucos Vesiculosus) to a very corpulent lady, who in th ee months lost three st >nes in weight without any change in diet. Since then I have frequently given it for reducing weight depending on the accumulation of adipose tissue, and have never found it fail. 1 may state that a patient who has been lately taking it as an anti-fat, and who has always suffered very much from rheumatic pains about the body, has been entirely free from such trouble while she has been taking the extract, a fact which she quite independently noted.” ALLAN'S ANTI-FAT Reduces a Lady Four Pounds per Week.
