Lost 32 Pounds
With Barcentrate
“When I commenced to Inks Bar-
centrate, I weighed 140 pounds”
writes Mrs. L. J. Oliver, 112 Alton
Street, Lufkin, Texas. -After seven
weeks and seven bottles, I had lost
32 pounds. f am only four feet eleven
and you can see that 140 was a lot
of weight for me. Barcentrate has
also helped me in other ways. I was
always bothered with indigestion but
I can now ent whatever 1 want and
feel line.
Barcentrate can be obtained at any
Texas druggist. If the very first bot-
tle doesn't show you the way to take
off ugly fat, return the empty bottle
for your money back.
