RESTORES PLEASING PLUMP
NESS.
Samose Sold Under Leadbeater's "N0
Cure No Pay" Plan.

There are a good many people in
Alexandria who ardently wish they
could find some way of getting fat
and plump. While not i'll, they are
so thin and scrawny that their friends
think they cannot be well. In nine
cases out of ten this condition can
be readily overcome by using the
combination of flesh-forming foods
known rs Samose. This little tablet
taken three times q day with the
food does wonders in building up
good health and restoring the pleas
ing piumpneSS that is so desirable,
Leadbeater and Sons have the ag-
ency for this preparation and sells it
with the promise that if it does not
do all that Is claimed for it in max
ing people gain in weight and in
health, the money will be refunded.
You certainly can afford to try a
so cent box On this plan, as samose
will cost You nothing unless it gives
satisfaction.

Detectives who were assigned to
