HOW TO GET FAT.
Use Samose, Say Druggists BowditcI,
Webster & Co. and Put On Good Flesh

The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need OF 4
simple and scientific method OF MAX
ing thin people fat increasing strength
and restoring health.
Athletics, when carried to an OK
treme, often result in straining the
vital organs. How much better 1t
would be for the average person to re-
gain health, strength and flesh by US
ing Samosc. This flesh forming food
is assimilated as soon as it enters the
stomach; it helps the organs to ASST
initiate the food and extract the flesh
forming elements: it builds up the
muscles and rounds out the limbs into
shapely plumpness.
Samose has been so successful in
making thin people fat and restoring
the weak and run down to strength
and health that Bowditch. Webster &
