Dr. Watts Buys a Half Interest
for $15,000. '
Dr.-G.-E. Watt, on of the leading
physicians .of Portland, has purchased
a half interest In the Anti-Lean Medi
cine Co., manufacturers of Dr. Mor
row's Anti-Lean, a preparation to make
lean people fat the consideration being
115.000. 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." -.-, -
