An Easy Way to
Increase Weight
Good Advise for thin Folks.

food Advise for Thin Folks.
The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stufing 1t with greay foods; rub
bling on useless flesh creams" or
following some foolish physical cul-
ture stunt, while the real cause Of
thinness goes Untouched. You can
not get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
There Is a preparation known to
reliable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies the miss
ing clements needed by the digestive
organs to help them convert food into
rich. fat-ladened blood. This mod
ern treatment Is called Sargol and
has been termed the greatest of flesh
builders. Sargol aims through re-
generation, reconstruction powers
to coax the stomach and intestines
to literally soak up the fattening ele-
ments 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 read
lily picture what result this amazing
transformation should produce as
with increased weight the cheeks fill
out, hollows about shoulders, neck
and bust disappear and from TO to
20 pounds Of solid. healthy flesh is
added to the body. Sargol is abso-
lutely harmless, inexpensive. efficient.
All leading druggists of this vicinity
have 1t and will refund your money
II you are not satisfied, as per tho
guarantee found in every package.
NoTE:-Sargol is recommended
only as flesh builder and while ex-
cellent results in cases of nervous
Indigestion. ETC.. have been reported
care should be taken about using 1t

fact that the critics pronounce 1t
hopeless 1t is drawing crowds nightly
