An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on dragging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams or following
some foolish physical culture stunt,
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat I'M
til your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
Thanks to remarkable new scIen-
tific discovery, ii is now possible to
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This master
stroke of modern chemistry Is called
Sargol and has been termed the great
est of flesh builders. Sargol aims
through its re-generative, reconstruct
tive powers to coax the stomach and
intestines to literally soak up the fat
tening elements o. your food and pass
them into the blood, where they are
carried to every starved, broken down.
cell and tissue of your body. You
can readily picture the result when
this amazing transformation has taken
place and you notice how your cheeks
fill out, hollows about your neck,
shoulders and bust disappear and you
take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid,
healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely
harmless. inexpensive. efficient. Bow
ditch Webster Co. and other leading
druggists of Augusta and vicinity have
II and will refund your money IL you
are not satisfied. as per the guarantee
found In every package.
Caution;--While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming nervous
dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles it should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or nore.-Ady

DRISCOLL GIVES NOTICE
TO GARDINER MANAGEMENT

Mike 'Driscoll has given notice to the
management of the Gardner baseball
team and will probably not be seen on
the diamond with the home team again
this season. He has been a sufferer from
indigestion and desires TO lay off for a
time in order to get into condition again.
Gardiner has no need to worry over the
lack Of a pitcher. as it has mighty good
material in its home talent.
