I was watching TV the other day and counted about 10 different commercials saying that they have the “Best” weight loss cure. Well, in all honesty it’s much simpler than that. I have my own weight loss program and I want to share with you what I do and how it works so well.

Bredemeir, a long-time local journalist and presented before the Fort Wayne Quest Club on January 28, 1966: The Fort Wayne Times was a Whig paper and some of lawyer/editor Dawson’s antagonism toward President Lincoln may have been generated
It is time that we Americans take a stand, and for those that are not able to stand on their own, that we lift them up in prayer.
