A Strength, Flesh and
Body Builder For
Spring
Run Down, Underweight People Put
On Ten TO Twenty Pounds Of
Healthy Flesh.

Most people show a tendency to lose
weight in winter. The fat making ma
terial in the foods they eat. which at
other seasons keep flesh and weight at
normal, is partially diverted in cold
weather and instead is used to furnish
heat for the body. Then most of US ac-
quire coughs, colds or the grippe which
tear down flesh, lower vitality, cause "A
considerable loss in weight and leave
us in a rundown condition in the
spring.
Any material loss of weight should
be regarded with alarm and PROMPT
measures taken to regain the lost flesh
A splendid body builder and flesh pro-
Queer is found in a preparation known
as SargOl which can be found at drug
gists everywhere and which seldom
fails to give the user a weight increase
Of from ten TO twenty pounds within a
few weeks. Sargol does not OF itself
make flesh. II is a small tablet which
readily dissolves in the stomach and,
mixing with the fats, sugars and
starches of the food you eat, prepares
these flesh making materials into a
form where the blood can easily alb
sorb and distribute them throughout
| the body. 1t is really amazing how
quickly and easily lost flesh and
weight return when Sargol is used
with your meals. With returning nor
NAL weight comes too a corresponding
return of health, spirits. ambition and
/ vitality and you soon feel your old self
again. Leading druggists everywhere
sell and recommend Sargol and every
package contains a guarantee of
weight increase or money back.
CautiOn-While Sargol is also widely
used for overcoming nervous dyspep.
STA and general stomach troubles. its
action in increasing weight is so prac
tically certain that its use is NOT
recommended to those who are not
willing TO put on ten or more pounds
of flesh.

British Isles. and that horror grows
as the people realize that but ga Of

The British people are paying too

The Indians. the Africans, the Jap

There is no race to which destruc-

than to the races which inhabit Great
Britain and Ireland
There exists no people who have
greater love and affection for their

There is no religious. no political.
no racial enmity between those people

That has been demonstrated by
British alliances with Germany and
Austria for centuries in the past

PRISONERS AND PUBLIC ROADS.
