Those tables tell you that a man of a certain height weighs normally 147 pounds at twehty-flve, and at fifty, 162 pounds. It is a dangerous ^pJsehood. A man should always weigh less at fifty than at twenty-five. If he does not, he will <Ve sooner than he might die. One pound or two pounds added to the weight on a horse’s back will make him lose a race. Imagine the handi cap put on an old heart, old lungs and old kidneys, by adding twenty or twenty-five pounds of fat at fifty. Dr. Williams says find out what your so-called “normal weight” is, then reduce twenty pounds bekrw it Weight ia fat, displacing muscle, which connects on the heart as wsll as the abdomen.
