WAM HONGKONG DAILY PHESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH, 1916.
"Just look, Mary, at those Robinsons. Three months ago they were as thin as you and I, And Robinson says all they have dono is "Take Sargol and grow fat.'"* HOW THIN PEOPLE MAY PUT ON FLESH,
We believe the thinnest man or woman can "fill out," become plump-yes, actually fat and all by this simple, harmless home treatment which imposes no hardships, offers nothing to rab on and can be taken privately.
Docs Sargol of itself create flesh? No. But people take Sargol and begin to grow fat. Why? We'll tell you. Sargol aims to supply the one thing which most thin folks lack-the power to properly assimilate their food. We believe that nearly all thinness comes from imperfect assimilation of food. The sugars, fats, storches, albumin-the flesh-making elements of what you eat each day, are probably passing wastefully from your system simply because your blood lacks the red corpuscles which normally should distribute these fatty elements throughout your body. You cat enough, that's true. The chronically thin are generally hearty caters. Give almost any thin person the power to assimilate the flesh-making elements of his blood and in a few weeks he will find pounds and pounds of healthy fat added to his weight. But let any fat and happy person lose this same power of assimilation, and in the same time his clothes will be hanging-in-festoons on bis emaciated frame.
Sargol is designed to correct these errors of assimilation by increasing cell growth, by putting into your blood the red corpuscles which carry the fatty elements of food throughout your body, by strengthening your nerves and putting your digestive tract in such shape that every ounce of flesh-making food you eat may give its full amount of nourishment instead of passing from your body as
waste.
Does it succeed and do folks grow fat by its use? Well, rather. Scores and scores of men and women thin for years, born thin, ten, twenty, yes, even thirty pounds underweight, write, in effect, that they are astounded at the quick, unmistakable gain in weight, gain in health, gain in muscle, nerve force and vitality that Sargol has given them. Their reports go to prove that Sagot does put on fat at the rate of ten to thirty pounds a month and that best of all it is firm, healthy permanent "stay there" fa. It is no new, untried discovery, this Sargol, and its fame extends throughout the world. A Gold Medal was awarded it at the Brussels Exposition in 1910. Another at Rome in 1911
If you want to increase your weight ten pounds or more, don't stop to wonder whether all this can be true. Try Sargol and Fer. Don't take our word for it. Let the scales and the tape measure tell their own story in your own case. A. S.

Sir Hiram Maxim has boon engaged for some time in devising a means of com- bating the poison gas of the Germans. He has designed a very simple apparatus which the Government is new testing. Tho object of the apparatus is to cause large and rapidly spreading fires by means of specially designed incendiary bombs in the path of the advancing gas at a distanco of several hundreds of yards from our trenches, and by this means, since the heating of the air must cause am upward rush, to drive the gas up out of

It occurred to me some months ago that, if a fire could be produced between the gas and our trenches, the rapid upward movement of the air would take the chlorine along with it, and this is quite true. The bombs that I made were to be thrown by hand, but it was found that, in order to be thrown any distancej they had to be made quite small, and, moreover, they could not be thrown as far as the officers wished to throw them. I delivered 100 to the Govermnant - for experimental purposes. A few of theso have been tested, and it was found that the fire should, be greater and farther away, so I have designed a very much The firm in simpler and larger form. London who propose to make them have designed a machine for throwing them with great accuracy a distance of 300 By yards, which will be quite enough. this means a fire of any size may be pre- duced, and if the fire is large encugh the gases must be dissipated; it cannot be otherwise.
The first bombs I designed involved the use of petrol, but it was thought that the consumption would be so large that there might be a shortage. I have therefore been experimenting, and am now in pes swoich of a liquid that doce just as well and only costs half as auch, while the supply of it is unlimited.
