An abnormal condition like corpulency requires that the
antidote directly reaches the seat of the complaint,
and by these Reducers the blood will be purified, and
all the organs of the body restored to natural healthy
action, while the germs of the disease will be entirely
eradicated from the system, so that the superfluous
fat, which will be removed will not return....
At the present stage of the disease in your case, we
can positively assure you that under our treatment a
marked improvement will begin at once, and continue
steadily until a complete reduction in weight, with all
the benefits to general health, is effected. Unlike
most other methods of treatment, the action begins
immediately and the sufferer feels better almost from
the beginning, and it is with confidence that we advise
you to begin a course of treatment with our Reducing
Preparation at once.
Our regular terms and prices are 26s. for a case
containing three 11s. boxes, whereby a saving of 7s. is
effected.
If you take up the treatment in this manner you can be
sure of having sufficient of the Tablets to take you
through to a quick reduction. Single boxes of Tablets,
however, are supplied at 11s. and smaller sizes at 6s.
6d. The 6s. 6d. box covers a ten days’ treatment, while
the 11s. boxes contain three times the quantity of the
6s. 6d.
This letter was not answered, but before long another was received
which contained the following passages:
In sending you the sample of the “Fell” Preparation,
we did so more to show the thorough nature of our
treatment than from the expectation that material
benefit would be realized from same. As you require to
bring about a certain reduction you must necessarily
undergo a certain course of treatment. A pound a day
reduction results in many cases, and there is every
reason to expect that such reduction can be effected in
yours. A serious affliction such as obesity is not to
be removed by any temporary remedy or with a few days’
treatment....
Remember, a 26s. case contains sufficient treatment to
reduce materially the most stubborn and long standing
case, while an 11s. box contains three times the
quantity of the 6s. 6d. box....
A supply was sent for and was accompanied by the following letter:
Dear Sir,
I have despatched to you the Tablets together with
directions and instructions. I ask you to carefully
observe same, and am confident if you do so, you will
very soon see most beneficial results....
