A Message To Thin,
Weak, Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 lbs. Of
Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh


Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say
Il can't understand why do not get
fat. eat plenty of good, nourishing
food" The reason is just this: You
cannot get fat. no matter how much
you eat, unless your digestive organs
assimilate the fat-making elements Of
your food instead Of passing them
out through the body as waste.
What is needed is means Of gently
urging the assimilative functions of
the stomach and intestines to absorb
the oils and fats and hand them over
to the blood, where they may reach
the starved, shrunken, rundown It's
sues and build them up. The thin per-
sons body is like a dry sponge-eager
and hungry for the fatty materials Of
which 1t is being deprived by the fail
ure Of the alimentary canal to take
them from the food. The best way to
overcome this sinful waste of flesh
building elements and to stop the leak
age of fats is to use Sargol, the recent
~ discovered regenerative force that
is recommended so highly by physi-
clans here and abroad. Take little
Sargol tablet with every meal and no.
tice how quickly your cheeks fill out
and rolls Of firm, healthy flesh are
deposited over your body, covering
each bony angle and projecting point.
Wilkinson & Co., and other good drug
gists have Sargol, or can get it from
their wholesaler, and will refund your
money II you are not satisfied with
the gain in weight it produces as stat
ed on the guarantee in each package.
1t is inexpensive, easy to take and
highly efficient.
Caution:-While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in overcom-
Ing nervous dyspepsia and general
stomach troubles, it should not be
taken unless you are willing to gain
ten pounds or more, for 1t is wonder

Attacks Senator Stone.


Senator Stone is old and in his
dotage,' Dawson said, "and he has
not been able to attend to his duties
much Of the time for the past year.
Our grandfathers first elected him to
office, and our fathers and ourselves
have kept him there up to this time.
HE will not win in this campaign,
however. 1. will come to st. Louis
with a plurality of $4,000 votes. and
I am sure ST. Louis will be for me.
Il am the only senatorial candidate
from the eastern part of the state.
Stone and Judge Wallace are from
the western part. 1t is about time
you St. Louisans woke up. You
thought Cowherd would win over
Major and voted for him. You thought
Francis would win over Reed and
voted for him. You have nobody any
place representing you. 1t Is time
you began voting with the rest OF the
state.
