A Real Flesh Builder
For Thin People
a New Discovery.

Thin men and women-that big,
hearty, filling dinner you ate last night.
What became of all the fat-prOducing
nourishment it contained? You have
not gained in weight one ounce. That
food passed from your body like un-
burned coal through an open CRATE.
The material was there, but your food
doesn't work and stick, and the plain
truth is you hardly get enough nOur-
ishment from your meals to pay for
the cost of cooking. This is true of thin
folks the world over. Your nutritive
organs. your functions Of assimilation
are sadly out of gear and need recon
struction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream
rub-ons. Cut out everything but the
meals you are eating now and eat
with every one Of those a single Sargol
tablet. In two weeks note the differ
ence. Five TO eight good solid pounds
of healthy, "stay there" fat should be
the net result. Sargol charges your
weak, stagnant blood with millions of
fresh new red blood cOrpuscles-gives
the blood the carrying power to de-
liver every ounce OF fat-making ma
terial In your food to every part Of
your body. SargOl, too, mixes with
your food and prepares it for the
blood in easily aSSlmllated form. Thin
people gain all the way from 10 to rs
pounds a month while taking Sargol.
and the new flesh stays put Sargol
tablets are a scientific combination of
six Of the best f1esh-producing ele-
ments known to chemistry. They
come 40 tablets to a package, are
pleasant, harmless and inexpensive,
and all druggists in South Bend and
vicinity sell them subject to an abso-
Lutte guarantee of weight increase or
money back.
