To Put on Flesh
and Increase Weight

Most people eat from four to six
pounds Of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time It's all bosh TO say that this
is the nature of the individual. 1t
isn't Natures way at all.
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers Of assimilation are de-
fective. They absorb just enough of
the food they eat TO maintain life and
a semblance of health and strength
Stuflng won't help them. A dozen
meals day won't make them gain a
single "stay there" pound. All the
fat-producing elements of their food
just stay there in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste
What such people need is something
that will prepare these fatty food ele-
ments so that their blood can absorb
them and deposit them all about the
body-something too, that will multi
ply their red blood corpuscles and in
crease their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition 1t is we'll to
recommend eating Sargol tablet with
every meal Sargol it not, as some be
lieye, a patented drug, but is simply
a careful combination of six of the
most effective and powerful assimila-
tive and flesh building elements known
to chemistry. 1t is absolutely harm
less, yet has been wonderfully effec-
tive and a single tablet eaten with
each meal often, according TO reports
of users, has the effect OF increasing
the weight of thin man or woman
from three 10 five pounds a week
Sargol is sold by J. J. Foley, Harper
House pharmacy, and other good drug
gists everywhere on positive guar
antee of weight increase or money

of convicts working on the road and
