THE FATNESS OF HEALTH
Samose Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin PeOOle Fat.

If you are thin, your health is not
what it should be. II you are losing
weight .Sat steadily, lily, here Is something
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong II you are thin.
This makes the thin and scrawny
plump and robust; it mixes with the
food so that all of the elements that
make solid bone, firm muscle, and good
flesh are thoroughly assimilated and re-
tained in the system.
Samose is not a drug or a stimulant;
II is a scientific fiesh-forming food that
restores thin people to a normal condi-
ton OF good. healthy flesh.
These statements are confirmed by
james O'Donnelrs offer to refund the
money to any one buying and using
Samose who does not gain in weight
as promised. The risk is all his. The
thin and sCrawny can buy Samose at
Druggist O'Donnell's store with the
knowledge that II It is not successful
1t will cost absolutely nothing.

"and Rosalind will, too, but you won't

John promised and Luella said: "I am
