FOR THE THIN AND SCRAWNY
SamOse VIII Make You Plump and
Rosy, Says DR.. Howard Co.

If you are getting thin you are sick.
although you may not know it, II
you are losing weight steadily, there
is something wrong that needs look
ing after. If you have always been
thin it doesn't follow that you are
sick, but you may not be healthy. You
cannot be strong if you are thin.
Try then to be healthy and plump,
it is not difficult If you know how.
The only way to increase the
weight and gain health and flesh IS
by using Samose, the standard flesh
forming food and tissue builder. Il
mingles with the food you eat and is
assimilated so that all the flesh form
ing and tissue building elements of
the food are retained in the system.
This explains the great value of Sa-
nose.
Weigh yourself before you begin
using Samose. Il will not cost you
a cent unless it increases your weight
and restores your health.
DR.. Howard Co. sells every pack
age on a genuine guarantee to refund
the money if it does not do all that
is claimed for It. For sale by N. B.

Of that speech ought to be placed in
the hands of every voter in the Fifth
district and OF every voter in the
state. II is meat for the voters. no.

te!ligent voters want this year. What
they know indefinitely, because they
are feeling it, is in Mr.. Goods speech
set forth specifically. the facts and the
figures. for ii and the proper reason
ing from It. Mr. Good must have
spent lot of time in bringing together
such an array Of facts and his services
ought to be fully utilized by the party
and the people for whom this work was
done.
We are glad to note that Congress
man Good is applying himself to facts
instead Of rhetoric for campaign pur-
pises and we commend his style oil
