THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
Samosc Ideal Flesh Builder Says th,
Quaker Drug Co. and Getmnn
q Campbell.

Thin people are simply suffering
from want Of nourlshment!
If you are thin, It is beacuse the
food you eat is not assimilated and
passes through the system without
building up the flesh and tissue as II
should.
You can readily get plump and rosy
by using Samose tissue forming food,
which when taken with the meals, i'm
mediately becomes a flesh building
and life giving element in the blood.
Samose builds up the system, puts
files hon the bones, brings back the
glow of health to the pallid cheek and
removes the tired and languid feeling
which is the result Of exhaustion and
low vitality.
quaker Drug Co. and Getman &
Campbell, introducing Samose TO their
customers and recommend IL highly,
give the best proof OF their belief that
Samose will do all that is claimed for
1t by offering to refund the money II

store good health.
