My great-aunt has an amazing collection of old newspapers and magazines, I was sat looking through them a couple of days ago when I came across this edition of Woman's Illustrated from 1937. My new find came at the perfect moment as I was considering a new healthy regime for 2018. I was confident that I would discover some great advice within the pages of this magazine. ![womans illustratedM.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXyoUV8f7Ya83euTpKiDx6nWmiwSyWysXRP88uSAamkc9/womans%20illustratedM.jpg) ## The way to a slim and youthful figure Looking for a golden nugget of wisdom I came across the following advertisement for salts that 'will dissolve pounds of loose, flabby flesh -and more, it will tone up your whole system and give life a new sparkle.' The advert asked me which I considered the healthiest way to slim -pulling myself in with a corset, starving myself or taking special drugs. I would have to say none of these, but I might be wrong. I must say, I also hadn't noticed that doctors send rich women to the spas to 'reduce', I will have to pay more attention from now on. ![sensible slimming.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmevNxJ1XxTwAwJyhhJCfZJ1Doa8RT6Kwaj6WSKGqWmZoh/sensible%20slimming.png) ### I'll be sharing some more of these 1930's treasures with you soon. For now though, I think I'll give the salts a miss and head to the gym instead. _All images taken from Woman's Illustrated -May 8th 1937 edition_ https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcKuWXao9FhfKgkY4ZXq6puoYsBFnECYTv1bRo7cuXs79/image.png ## [Redbubble shop](https://www.redbubble.com/people/opheliafu/shop?asc=u) ### Have a great day and Steem on!
