Increase In Weight Ten Pounds or
More.
I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every excess
sivelv thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Most thin people are vic
tins Of mal-nutritiOn. condition
which prevents the fatty elements of
food from being taken up by the blood
as they are when the powers OF nu-
triton are normal Instead Of get
ting into the blood, much Of the tat
and flesh producing elements stay in
the intestines until they pass from
the body as waste
To correct this condition and to
produce healthy, normal amount of
fat. the nutritive processes must be
artificiaIly supplied with the power
nature has denied them. This can
probably best be accomplished by eat
ing a SargoI tablet with every meal
Sargol is a careful combination Of six
splendid assimilatiye agents. Taken
with meals they mix with the food to
turn the sugars and staTChes Of what
you have eaten into rich, ripe nour-
ishment for the tissues and blood, and
Its rapid effect has been in many cases
reported remarkable Reported gains
Of from 10 to % pounds in a single
month are by no means infreQuent
Yet its action is perfectly natural and
absolutely harmless. Sargol is sold
BY j J. Foley. Harper House phar-
macy, and other druggists everywhere
and every package contains guaran-
tee Of weight increase or money back
Note,-Sargol is recommended only
as flesh builder, and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indiges-
ton, etc, have been reported, care
should be taken about using it unless
