AN EASY WAY TO GET FAT AND BE STRONG.

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on dragging their stomach or stuffing it with creams," or following some foolish physical greasy foods; rubbing on useless flash culture stunt, while the real cause of thiness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat!

Thanks to a remarkable new scientific discovery, it is now possible to combine into simple form the very elements needed by the digestive organs to help them con- vert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This master-stroke of modern chemistry is endled Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh-builders Sargol aims through its re-generative, reconstructive powers to coax the stomach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where they are carried to every starved, broken-down cell and tissue of your body. You can readily picture the result when this amazing transformation has taken. place and you notice how your cheeks 411 Cam cut, hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disappear and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh.
