As a woman advances from youth I to middle age, she thickens and broad-I ens (unless she be wise); hence, hus band grows less anxious to please her, I aa her charm over others ?row less. I In time this process ends up In a dl-1 vorce court. Women who have (husbands) must hold. For this nothing serves like a vouthful figure. But how overcome the "thickening of middle age? Very simple. Exercise will not do does not house work fall? And dieting makes wrin kles. Instead, escape both bother and wrinkles by taking a Marmola Tablet after each meal and at bedtime. These tablets will take off a pound of fat a day beginning the reduction where It shows the most, via., on Dips, chip, ab domen, etc Get down to the lost, youthful figure that ilea under your I fat; and then stay there with the occa-l sional help ot a tablet.
