AND THEY USED TO BE SO THIN.
Get in the Game-Sargol lakes Puny, Peevish People Plump and Popular. Perhaps you yours have envied the rounded beauty of such figures as these graceful, well-developed, splendidly-healthful---you see them at all public places-admired by all.
Perhaps you dread to don your street tennis orbathing dress: because of your own painful thinnes--you wonder bitterly why you are thin-you cal good food and plenty of it--but somehow you can't gain flesh-why is it?
You are thin doubtless because the flesh-producing clements in your foods pass away from your body instead of being relaided to build it up--your system lacks the power of proper assimilation-a dozen meals a day will not increase your weight.-.-.- they will only add to the loss
You need something to stop this waste--you need Sargol.
SARGOL combines with the sugars, starches, fats and albumenoids in your food in such a way that they are readily absorbed by the blood and carried to the parts of the body where they are most needed to nourish and build it up,
As your semi-starved body gains in flesh and mounds out to its normal beautiful proportions you will find yourselb improving wonderfully in looks, in vitality and in vigour.
Try this wonderful flesh builder that has made thousands of men and women heavier, healthier and happier. A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in rot.
