An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish TO gain weight is that thew insist
on drugging. their stomach or stuffine il
Win greasy foods: rubbing on useless
nesn creams" or following some fool
1sh physical culture stunt, while the real
cause OF thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
asslmllates the food you eat.
Ihanks to a remarkable new scientific
discovery, 1t is now possible to combine
INTO simple form the very elements
needed by the digestive organs toshelp
tnen convert food into rich, fat-laden
Diood. This master-Stroke OF modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest of fesh-builders
Sarsol aims through it's re-generative,
reconstrucuve powers to coax the stom-
ach and intestines to literally soak up
the fattening elements of 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
transformation has taken place
ana you notice how your checks 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. mex
