Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice.

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and
stay that way" declares every eXces-
sively thin man or woman. Such a re-
suit is not impossible, despite past fail
ures. Thin people are victims of NAL
nutrition, a condition which prevents
the fatty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are
when the powers of nutrition are nor
nal. 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 pro-
duce a healthy normal amount of fat
the nutritive processes must be arti-
f1cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating Sargol
tablet with every meal. Sargol is a
scientific combination Of six of the
best strength giving fat-produeing ele-
ments known to the medical profess
slon Taken with meals it 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. Reported gains
of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a
single month are by no means infre-
quent Yet its action is perfectly nat
ural and absolutely harmless. Sargol
is sold by the Bowditch- Webster Co,
and other good druggists everywhere
and every package contains a guar
aritee of weight increase or money
hack.
n:-While Sargol has produc-
ed remarkable results in the treatment
of nervous indigestion and general
stomach disorders, it should not, ow-
ing to it's remarkable flesh producing
effect, be used by those who are not
willing to increase their weight ten
pounds or more.-Adv.

Wesley Sanford BurriII.

Wesley Sanford Burrill passed to
a higher life January IS, aged 60 years,
8 months, 26 days. While engaged in
hauling firewood from his wood lot, he
received what he supposed was a
slight strain in his right side. He was
examined and treated by competent
physicians who could see no reason
why his recovery was not certain, but
after an illness of IL days, an internal
hemorrhage which no physician could
foresee or prevent took place and de-
spite all that loving hearts and will
ing hands could do, his faithful heart
was stilled in death. He leaves to
mourn their loss a widow, two sons,
Elmer and Ivan Burrill of Pittsfield,
two, daughters, Mrs. Lillian Ames also
of this town, and Mrs. Evelyn Hoxie
of Clinton and grandchildren; step
mother, Mrs. Mary Burrill, and three
half sisters, Mrs. Vesta Holt of Show
hegan, Mrs. Mamie Boston and Miss
Lucie Burrill of Canaan. The funeral
services were held at the home Satur-
day, Jan. 81. The large number of
friends and neighbors who attended
and the profusion of beautiful flowers
in which Mr.. Burrill- was held. The
interment was in the family lot in the
Village cemetery. The deceased was
born in Clinton, Oct. 2, 1S4S, son OF
Sanford and Patience Burrili. His par
ents removed to Canaan soon after.
He was educated in the public schools
except for two periods. IN which he
was employed in Pennsylvania, in early
manhood, he passed his life in his ma
tive state. He often remarked that
MAINE is good enough for me- He
married Miss Azuba Goodridge of Ca
naan in 1870, moving to Pittsf1eld six
years later to the farm, where he died
He was good conyersationalist and
keenly interested in the political ana
economic conditions of the day. He
was a prosperous, up-to-date farmer
and in his family he was a devoted
husband and kind father. He will be
missed in the community, for he was
one of the men who help to keep
things moving He was of an un-
questioned integrity and dependable in
every way.
He died in full faith of future life
and in expectation of meeting loved
ones. No one looking on his peaceful
countenance could doubt that for him
had opened wider, larger life, OF
which Christ himself is the light
thereof.
