THIN FOLKS WHO
WOULD BE FAT
Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or
More.
A Physicians Advice.


"Id certainly give most anything
to be able to fat UP few pounds and
stay that way" declares every exces.
siyely thin man or woman. Such q
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims OF
mal-nutriticn, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements OF food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay, in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce q healthy normal. amount of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating
a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar-
gol is scientific combination of six
Tef the best Strengthening, fat-pro-
ducing elements 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 tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains Of from ten to twenty
five pounds In a single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action
is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless. .-
caution:-While Sargol has produc-
ed remarkable results in the treat
ment of nervous indigestion and gen.
eEal stomach disorders. it should not,
ewing to its remarkable flesh produc-
ing effect, be used by those who are
not willing to increase their weight
ten pounds or more. -
