BILE stomachs who. having tried adver-
tised flesh makers, food -fads, physical
culture stunts and rub-on creams. re-
sign themselves to lifelong skinniness
and think nothing will make them fat.
Yet their case is not hopeless. A recently
discovered regenerative 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 remark
able discovery is called SargoL Six
strength giving, fat-producing elements
of acknowledged merit have been COM
bined In this peerless preparation, which
is Endorsed by eminent physicians and
used by prominent people everywhere.
1t is absolutely harmless. inexpensive
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 nourlshment is
obtained from the food eaten, and the
additional fats that thin people need are
provided. Jacobs Pharmacy and other
leading druggists supply Sargol and
say there Is a large demand for IT,.
While this new preparation has given
splendid results as ve-tonic and
vitalizer. IL should not be used by ner-
vous people unless they wish to gain at
least ten pounds of fesh.-Advt
