Scrawny Folks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to :M> Lbs. of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I ean't understand why 1 do not get fat ' eat plenty of pood, nourishing food/' I'he reason it just this: You cannot get tat, no matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the bodv as waste. ( \\ hat is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and band them over to the blood, where tliev may reach the starved, shrunken, run down tissues and build them up. The thin person's liodV is like a dry sponge—eager and hungr? for the fatty materials of which it is being deprived by the failure of ali mentary canal to take them from the food. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building and to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered re generative force that is recommended so highly by physicians here and abroad, 'lake a little Sargol tablet with ever* meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, coh ering each bony angle and projecting point. O. A. Gorgas and other good druggists have Sargol, or can get ii from their wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It ia inexpensive, easy to take and hialitt eflieient. Cnutlon:—\\ hile Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming nerv ous dyspepsia and general stomach trouble <, it should not l:e taken mile $ you are willing to gain t MI pounds or more, lor it is a wonderful flesh-builder, —Adv.
