AN EASY WAY TO GET
FAT AND BE STRONG

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that 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 the real cause OF thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tific discovery, 1t is now possible to
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fatladen blood. This master.
stroke CT modern chemistry Is called
Sargol and has been termed the great.
est Of flesh-builders. SargoI aims
through its re-generatiye, reconstruct
i've powers to coax the stomach and
.ntestines to literally soak up the
fattenfng elements of your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to every starved, broken
down cell and tissue of your body.
You can readily picture the result
when this amazing Transformation has
taken place and you notice how your
cheeks fill out, hoIlows about your
neck, shoulders and bust disappear
and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds
of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is alb
soluteIy harmless. inexpensive and ef-
ficient
Caution: While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming ner-
vous dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles it should not be taken By
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more.
