REMAIN THIN NOW
Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde-

Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde-
veloped Men and Women.
Thousands OF people suffer from ex-
cessivc thinness, weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried
advertised flesh-makors. food-fads,
physical culture stunts and rub-on
creams, resign themselves to lifelong
skinniness and think nothing viii
make them fat. Yet their case Is not
hopeless. A recently discovered re-
generatiye force makes fat grow after
years of thinness, and is also unequal
led for repairing the waste of sickness
or faulty digestion and for strength
oning the nerves. This remarkable
discovery is called Sargol. Six
strongth-giying. fat producing ele-
ments of acknowledged merit have
been combined in this peerless prep
aration, which is endorsed by eminent
physicians and used by prominent
people everywhere. Il is absolutely
harmless, inexpensive and efficient.
A months systematic use of Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nourishment is
obtained from the food eaten. and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided. All leading druggists
supply Sargol and say there is a large
demand for il.
While this new preparation has
given splendid results as a nerve
tonic and vitalizer. it should not be
used by nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten pounds OF
flcsh.
