Few advertisements promise a bigger body as directly as this one, which puts two products, Lorings Fat-Ten-U and Corpula Foods, right in its headline. Weight-gain preparations like these were a common part of the patent medicine and packaged food trade in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when a slight frame was often treated as a health problem that a tonic or special diet could fix. Claims in such advertising were frequently sweeping and rarely backed by evidence, so the copy is worth reading for its assumptions about appearance and health as much as for the products themselves.
