Constipation or Comfort?

There can be neither comfort nor
good health where constipation exists.
Most people suffer from this cause at
intervals, many are chronic victims.
Strangely enough, the old time
remedies for this very common COM
plant We're nauseating doses and so
powerful that they often made the
condition worse than before. Then
they wore out in their effect so that
it was necessary to take larger and
larger dose. The first attempts at
Improvement sought to make the dose
more palatable but to disguise the
taste the size was increased and re-
suits were unsatisfactory.
In this age Of progress it was i'm
possible that doses resembling horse
medicine should continue to be taken
by human beings. In the new laxative,
Pinklets, is presented a dainty, sugar
coated pill, hardly larger than a grain
of mustard, that is free from unpleas-
ant effects. does not upset the stom-
ach nor grippe but simply gives nature
the needed assistance. Pinklets also
assist digestion and are good to take
after a full meal. Once use Pink
lets and you will never return to salts,

Thin Folks Whc
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice
july30, aug1

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every excess
sively thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims of
mal-nutrition, 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 pro-
duce healthy normal, amount of fat
the nutritiye processes must be artifi-
cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating a Sargol
tablet with every meal. Sargol is a
scientific combination of six of the
best strength giving fat-producing ell
ements known to the medical profess
sion. Taken with meals, it mixes with
the food and turns the sugars and
Starches into rich, ripe nourishment
for the tissues and blood and it's rap
i'd effect is remarkable. Reported
gains or from ten to twenty five
pounds in a single month are by no
means infrequent. Yet it's action is
perfectly natural and absolutely harm
less. Sargol is sold by the Bowditch-
Webster Co. and other good druggists
everywhere and every package con-
tains guarantee of weight increase
or money back
Caution:-While Sargol has produc-
ed remarkable results in the treatment
of nervous indigestion and general
stomach disorders. it should not, owing
to its remarkable flesh producing eff
feet, be used by those who are not
willing to increase their weight ten
pounds or more.--Adv.
