Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days

For a while there, the fat of the land was living on me.

This is the tale of a fat boy who flunked his exams when he was asked who were Andrew Johnson, William Harvey, and Edward the Confessor----

But who got "A" for Appetite when he was asked who were Antoine of New Orleans, Fred Harvey, and Don the Beachcomber.

A Fatso who bypassed the art galleries in the big cities in order to pass by the mouth-watering grocery shelves of S. S. Pierce, Fred Wolferman, Charles & Co., and Solaris.

A "4 by 4" who thought the song "Home on the Range" was a cookbook.

A food-lover who thought that Omar Khayyam's line about a loaf of bread and a jug of wine was written to promote his famous San Francisco restaurant. When I took a train ride through the Royal Gorge I didn't even see it. I was too busy having a royal gorge in the diner.

This is the story of a Fatso of the Forties, a Satellite of the Saucepans, who bounced up to 230 non-jolly pounds, lost his pep, vigor, sex and honeymoon figure! All because he couldn't lose weight.

Then got mad when a fresh clerk sent him to the Fat Men's Department for a shirt and a Marine Corps medico ridiculed his gallery of calories - so mad he took off 40 pounds!

It's a merry yarn of calories - how fat boys can remove them, how skinnies can acquire them, how Victor Mature can keep his! A laugh-scape of a Fat Boy named "Elmer" who won the "Battle of the Bulge" and learned to lose weight in an approved medical manner!
