THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24cm. 1915.
The Mirror Shows Plainer Than Words What a Wonderful Improvement May Be Realized by a Gain of Even 10 or 12 Pounds.
'SARGOL MAKES PUNY, PEEVISH PEOPLE
PLUMP AND POPULAR.”
If you are tired of being called “Skinny," "Dean-pole" or any of the other tormenting names shouted at thin folks, you will be glad to hear of a remarkable discovery that puts on good solid flesh at a wonderful rate.
The thin man has a gaunt, cadaverous, hungry look that gives an unfavourable impression when he meets people, and his unfavourable impression seriously detracts from his success
The thin woman has a scraway, angular look, that, no matter how, regular her features, destroys the charm of feminine beauty. The rounded curves of the plamp woman so pleases the eye that even an unfortunate face is forgotten and she is called beautiful,
Thanks to this new discovery, this remarkable flesh builder, Sargol, you can now be plump and well developed, the boner covered with good solid flesh, the hollow places filled out so that wrinkles disappear and the sharp angles changed into beautiful Cúrvés. Scrawny necks and sh yulders will grow into a form of beauty and the cheeks. and face will become plump, full and attractive,
There is no strenuous exercising required, no drastic diet necessary, just use Sargol, the new flesh building element, and see the weight increase in a natural way. You ask how this is accomplished. Very easily; Sargol simply helps nature by restoring a perfect assimilation of food. Thin people are usually thin because they do not absorb the nutriment they should get out of their food. It simply passes through the system as coal shakes out of a wide grate when only partially consumed. Use Sargo} and you will entirelyemedy the imperfect assimilation so that what you ext will fill out the loose skin and cover the bony angles with flesh that has been lacking. It will not only make you look better, but will make you feel better, giving the vitality and life that is the heritage of the well developed.
A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. WATRÓN & Co., LTD., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE PHARMACY, Queen's DispensaRY, THE EDWARD DISPENSARY, and all other first-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock.
