TO PUT ON FLESH
AND INCREASE WEIGHT
A Physicians Advice

Most thin people eat from four to six
pounds of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce. while on the other
hand many Of the plump. chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time. It's all bosh to say that this
is the nature OF the individual 1t isn't
Natures way at all.
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective
They just absorb enough of the food
lance of health and strength. Stuffing
won't help them. a dozen meals a day
won't make them gain a single stay
there pound. All the fat-producing
elements of their food just stay in the
intestines until they pass from the body
as waste. What such people need is
something that viii prepare these fatty
food elements so that their blood can
absorb them and deposit them all about
the body-something, too, that will null
tiply their red blood corpuscTes and in
crease their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition | always recon-
mend eating a Sargol tablet with every
meal. Sargol is not, as some believe, a
patented drug, but is a scientific COM
bination of six of the most effective and
powerful flesh-building elements known
TO chemistry. II is absolutely harmless.
tablet eaten with each meal often has

thin man or woman from three to five
pounds a week. Sargol is sold by

tive guarantee of weight increase or

Germans the fact that the Panama
Cana will bring the western shores
Of the American hemisphere and the
markets of the Orient closer to the
doors of the workshops and the art
exchanges of Europe
The German government, as is well
known, decided some time ago not to
participate officially, but this action
aroused the opposition of the manu-
faCturers and exporters. who are alive
to the opportunity which this event of
worldwide Importance gives them to
extend their markets and to keep what
they have.

Immediately after the decision of
the Government became known a move

German Journal through it's editor.

momentum under the powerful influen-
tial leadership of the gigantic German
Transatlantic shipping interests, head
ed by Ballin. of the Hamburg line, and
