When seen last night Dr. Watt said: "I have used Anti-Lean in my practice for tha past six montba and find it to be an excellent remedy. The theory of making people fat by giving them fata and oils is wrong as It upset their stomach ana flestroys their appe tite and assimilation. The theory of feeding them p red I (rested foods is also wrong because their digestive organs get. to depend upon the predlgestion. Our theory ia to make them fat through the aervous system. All lean people are nervous to a great extent with a rapid heart action. - Anti-Lean quiets down their nervousness and heart ac tion,' Droducea a natural and normal sleep, Increases their appetite and tones up BJid Invigorates their digestive or gans so they will digest and. assimilate their food without any - predlgestion. It also regulates the bowels. , This 1 nature's wsy of making lean people fat." -.-, - STAGE PASSENGERS ; ; CARRIED BY SLEIGH m - rgpeirlal Dtaptirk ts Tbe JenrDaf.) ' Klamath FalU, Or., Jan. SI.
