thin FOLKS Who
WOULD Be FAT
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice

"l'd certainly give most anything TO
be able to fat up a few pounds and say
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such a result is not
impossible. despite past failures Thin
people are victims of mal-nutrition.
condition which prevents the fatty clc
ments of food from being taken up by
the blood as they are when the powers
of nutrition are normal. Instead OF get
ting into the blood, all the tat and flesh
producing elements stay in the intestinel
until thcv pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
ducc a healthy, normal amount of fat
the nutritiVc processes must be artih-
cially supplied with the power which na-
turc has denied them. This can best be
accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet
with every meal. Sargol is scientific
combination OF six of the best strength

the medical profession. Taken with

fectly natural ard absolutely harmless.
