WHAT THIN FOLKS SHOULD
DO TO GAIN WEIGHT
Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde-
veloped Men and Women.

Thousands OF people suffer
from excessive thinness, weak
NERVES and feeble stomachs who,
having tried advertised flesh max
Iers. food-fads. physical culture
stunts and rub-on creams. resign
themselves to lifelong skinniness
and think nothing will make them
fat. Yet their case Is not hope
less. A recently discovered regen-
eratIve force makes fat grow after
years of thinness, and is also un-
equaled for repairing the waste OF
sickness or faulty digestion and
for strengthening the nerves. This
remarkable discovery is called
Sargol. Six strengthening, fat
producing elements OF acknowl-
edged merit have been combined
In this peerless preparation, which
Is endorsed by eminent physi-
clans and used by prominent peo-
pie everywhere. II Is absolutely
harmless, Inexpensive and eff
clent.
A months systematic use OF
Sargol should produce flesh and
strength by correcting faults of d.
gestion and by supplying highly
concentrated fats to the blood.
Increased nourishment is obtained
from the food eaten. and the add
tional fats that thin people need
are provided. Crown Drug Co.
and other leading druggists sup
ply Sargol and say there is large
demand for It.
While this new preparation has
given splendid results as a nerve
tonic and vitalizer, 1t should not
be used by nervous people unless
they wish to gain at least ten
pounds of flesh.
