Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such result Is not
impossible, despite past failures. Thin
people are victims Of NAL nutrition, a
condition which prevents the fatty ele-
ments of food from being taken up by
of nutrition are normal. Instead of get
ting into the blood. all the fat and flesh
producing elements stay in the intes-
tines until they pass from the body as
waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce healthy, normal amount of fat
the nutrftive processes must be artifi
cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating Sargol tab
let with every meal Sargol Is a scien
strengthening, fat-producing ele-
ments known to the medical profession.
Taken with meals, 1t mixes with the
food and turns the sugars and starches
into rich, ripe nourishment for the tis-
sues and blood, and its rapid effect Is re-
markable. Reported gains of from ten
to twenty-five pounds in a single month
are by no means infrequent. Yet its
action is perfectly natural and abso-
lutely harmless Sargol is sold by good
druggists everywhere and every pack
age contains a guarantee of weight In
crease or money back.
Caution.-While Sargol has produced
remarkable results in the treatment OF
nervous indigestion and general stom-
ach disorders. 1t should not, owing to
it's remarkable flesh producing effect. be
used by those who are not willing to In
crease their weight ten pounds or more.
