THE FATNESS OF HEALHT
Samose Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.

If you are thin, your health is not
what it should be. If You are losing
weight steadily there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good. solid
beautiful flesh can only come through
the use of Samose, the remarkable
flesh-forming food.
SamoSe Is not a drug or a stimu-
liant; it is a scientific fIesh-forming
food that restores thin people to a
normal condition of good healthy
flesh.
These statements are confirmed by
Geo W. StansfieId. druggist, 632
Kansas avenue, who offers to refund
the money to any one buying and
using SaTnose who does not gain in
weight as promised The risk is all
