There was tragedy in the uation.

In addition his selling schemes were

There followed a fierce and bitter
war in the borax trade, the new com

hairs that top his otherwise youthful

Congress would not appropriate the

to that end. All it would do was to

AN EASY WAY TO
INCREASE WEIGHT

GOOD ADVICE FOR THIN FOLKS.
The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight II tk< they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing It with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams. or following
some foolish physical culture stunt,
while tie real cause Of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get tat. until
your digestive tract sassimtIates the
food you eat ;,
There Is preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies the missing
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This modern
treatment Is called Sargol and has
been termed the greatest OF flesh.
builders. Sargol aims through regen-
erative. re-constructive powers to coax
the stomach and intestines to literally
soak up the fattening elements of your
food and pass them into the blood,
where they are carried to the starved,
broken-down cells and tissues of your
body. You can readily picture what re.
suit this amazing transformation
should produce as with increased
weight the cheeks fill out, hollows
about neck, shoulders and bust disap-
pear and from 10 to 20 pounds Of solid,
healthy flesh is added to the body.
Sargol is absolutely harmless, mex
pensive, efficient. All leading drug
gists Of this vicinity hive it and will
refund your money if you are not sat
isfied, as per the guarantee found in
every package.
NOTE-Sargol is recommended only
as flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases Of nervous indiges-
ton. ETC., have been reported care
should be taken about using it unless
a gain of weight is desired.
