Perhaps you dread telon your street, tennis or bathing dress because of your own painful thinness--you wonder 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 dombless because the flesh-producing elements in your foods pass away from your body instead of being retained to bail 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 neeiled to nourish and build it ́ap.
As your seat-starved brody gains in flesh and rounds out to its formal beautiful proportions you will find yourself improving wonderfully in looks, in vitality and in vigoar
