The burden of obesity is so dis- prepossessing, and is generally so difficult to get rd of with any degree of permanence, that the introduction to Canada of the famous British Specific Antipon will be welcome in many quarters. The preparation is not unknown here al- { ready, but the obstacles in.the way of its supply to the general public were necessarily great. All difficul- ties are now removed. Ere the important discovery of Antipon the treatments usually em- ployed for the reducton of welght included starvation dietary rules, sweating and purging, together with mineral drugging. 'All these things are weakening in the extreme, and, when obstimately persisted in, ruin- ous to the constitution, Antipon is diametrically opposed to such drastic methods, : To expel the superfluous fatty mattery from the system is all very well, but the body must be amply nourished at the same time. Now, Antipon not only rapidly eliminates the excess of iat, but overcomes the unfortunate tendency to "rum to fat" Ample wholesome food there. fore, becomes Antipon's gtrength-giv- ing ally, and there is no need to dread that 'the extra nourishment | taken will bring about a re.develop- ment of excessive fatty tissue, Every dose of Antipon is a sure step n the direction of the recovery of beauty of form and yigorous and nervous energy. e decrease of weight is not a tedioug process. Within twenty. four. hours of the first dose there is a reduction varying, according to in- dividual conditions, between 8 oz. to 3 Ibs. The scales will be the un- erring recorder. The 'daily de- crease is eminently satisfactory. When normal weight and symmetri- cal proportions are regained the treatment is no jonger necessary. Antipon contains only the most harmless vegetable substances in wo: lution, the Jiquid being In appear- ance like a light red wine. It is pal. atable, refreshing and slightly tart, and never occasions any unpleasant reactionary effects.
