More Fresh Air Be Moderate in Your Diet and Reduce Your Weight With Oil of Korein Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy gen-carrying power of the blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumulates and the action of many of the vital or gans are hindered thereby. The heart action becomes weak, work is an effort and the beauty of the figure is de stroyed. Fat put on by indoor life is unhealthy and if nature is not assisted in throw ing it off by increasing the oxygen carryiftg power of the blood a serious case of obesity may result. When you feel that you are getting too stout, take the matter in hand at once, don't wait until your figure has become a joke and your health ruined through carrying around a burden of unsightly and unhealthy fat. Spend as much time as you possibly can in the open air, breathe deeply, and get from any druggist a box of oil of korein capsules; take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. Weigh yourself every few days and keep up the treatment until you are down to normal. Oil of korein is abso lutely harmless, is pleasant to take, helps the digestion and is designed to increase the oxygen-carrying power the blood. Even a few days' treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight. There is nothing better. —Adv. Every day in the week, Every week in the year, the or water.
