Get in a Gause--Sargol Makes Puny, Peevish People Plump and Popular. Perhaps you yourself have envied the rounded- beanty 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 or bathing dress because of your own painful thinness-you worder bitterly why you are thin-you eat good food and plenty of it--but somehow you can't gain flesh-why is it?
You are thin doubtless because the flesh-producing elements in your foods pass away from your body instead of being retained 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-nced 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 rounds out to its normal beautiful proportions you will find yourself improving. wonderfully in tooks, in vitality and in vigour..
Try this wonderful flesh builder that has made thousands of men and women heasier, healthier and happier. A Gold Medal A. S. WATSON & Co., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911, PHARMACY, QUEEN'S DISPENSARY, THE EDWARD DISPENSARY, and all other first-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock:
