THE MODERN FIGURE.
HOW TO REGAIN BEAUTY OF FORM. The vagaries of fashion are a great trial to ladies inclined to over-stoutness; but it is a great mistake to go in for physical repression in the shape of special stays. Fasting and violent exercising are also dangerous. One very soon becomes limp, depressed and sallow of complexion when such methods of getting thin are adopted. There is absolutely no necessity to study dietetics or deprive oneself of wholesome rest and enjoyable bodily comforts. The following is a prescription which will restore "beauty of form without any sacrifice of health or strength. Any chemist will make it up for you or supply the harmless ingredients, viz.: One ounce of pure Glycerine 8.P.,. one half-ounce of Marmola. one ounce of fluid extract of Glycyrrhiza 8.P., and Peppermint Water to make six ounces in all. The dose is two teaspoonfuls after each meal. Don’t be afraid of a good appetite, especially as the digestive system will be much benefited by this simple treatment. Indeed, the whole body is beautified, and the reduction of weight occasions no wrinkles. The skin and complexion are rebeautified.
