Be Fat-Not Funny
PUT ON FIRM. HEALTHY FLESH WHERE EVERY OUNCE WILL COUNT.
If women and men only knew the pity, the gibes and the ridicule, that pinched cheeks, scrawny chests and scarecrow figures make, they would certainly do something to add flesh to their bones, and round out their figures,
Even thin people that see this announcement know that this is the truth. If thin, and so-called skinny people only knew that their lack of weight is caused by a lack of the system to turn the food they eat into firm, hard flesh they would not lose all hope. It is a simple act to make flesh, provided you do it in a perfectly natural inammer, The food you eat and the water you drink contain every quality that goes to make flesh, but if de digestive juices, the stomach and the digestive canal do not take out of this food everything that the system demands, then of course the body is impoverished, and draws upon what little flesh you have for the nourishment it needs.
One of the greatest successes in flesh building ever known is now having much success in the Far East. Almost every state and country has had within the last few months ample proof of the power of this flesh builder. It is nothing more or less than It does not contain a little tablet, prepared after the most scientific and natural means. harmful or worthless drugs; you do not have to tear down one part of your system to build up another, but all you have to do is to carry a few of these tables in your pocket or your purse eat what you will and when you will; take two of these tablets, and the food you out with the aid of the tablets will go into your system in good, rich blood. to make firm, healthy flesh.
Don't diet or gorge yourself; don't walk and exercise yourself and exhaust, your already weakened vital forces, but do the very best thing that nature does in all animal life-put into the system the things that the system craves.
These little tablets are sold under the name of Sargol tablets. They are harmless, and yet powerful. No matter what the condition of your stomach, they will lend themselves readily and do their work properly without any ill effects.
A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Esposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. WATSON & CO., LTD., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE * PHARMACY, QUEEN'S DISPENSARY, THE EDWARD DISPENSARY,, and all other first-class

One of the most interesting articles in this month's magazine is Somo Ex periences of a Prisoner of Wary" by an cffcor, Mr. Jeffery E. Jeffery, which is printed in the Cornhill, and from which we make the following extracts:
Mr. Jeffery's article, which is in the form of a diary, opens on October 16, 1914, in the German Military Hospital, Buvai, Franco, and he is just being mor ed to the internment camp at Crefeld, in Germany.
