What Thin Folks Should Do
To Gain Weight
Physicians Advice For Thin, Unde-
yeIOped Men and Women.

Thousands of people suffer from eX-
cessive thinness; weak nerves. and
feeble stomachs who, having tried ad-
vertised fiesh-makers. food-fads, phjsi-
cal culture stunts, and rub-On creams.
resign themselves to lifelong Skinnl-
ness and think nothing will make them
fat. Yet their case is not hopeless. A
recently discovered regeneratlve force
makes fat grow after years OF thinness.
and Is also unequaled for repairing the
waste of sickness or faulty digestion
and for Strengthening the nerves. This
remarkable discovery is called SarSol.
Six strengthening. fat-producinS ele-
merits of acknowledged merit have been
combined in this peerless preparation.
which Is indorsed by eminent physicians
and used by prominent people every
where. II Is absolutely harmless, in
expensive and efficient.
A months systematic use OF SarGol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nouriShment is
obtained from the food eaten. and the
additional fats that thin people need are
provided. James O'Donnell's Drug Store
and other leading druggists supply
Sargol and say there is large demand
for it.
While tits new preparation has given
splendid results as a ncrve-tonic and
vitalZer, it should not be used by nerv-
Gus people unless they wish to gain
at least ten pounds If flesh.-Advt.

causes Of much Of the nigh cost Of
