Restores Pleasing Plumpness
SamOse Sold Under Geo. w. Stans-
fields mo Cure No Pay" Plan.

There are good many people in To-
peka who ardently wish they could find
some way Of getting fat and plump.
While not i'll. yet they are SO thin and
scrawny that their friends think they
cannot be we'll. In nine cases out of
ten this condition can be readily over
come by using the combination of flesh
forming fo.ds known as Samose. This
little tablet taken three times a day
with the food does wonders in building
up good health and restoring the pleas
Ing plumpness that is so desirable.
Geo. w. Stansfield has the agency for
this preparation and sells it with the
promise that if it does not do all that
is claimed for 1t in making people gain
in weight and in health, the money will
be refunded.
You certainly can afford to try a soc
box on this plan as Samose will cost
you nothing unless. it gives satisfaction.
