HOW THIN PEOPLE CAN PUT ON FLESH.
A New Discovery,
Thin men and women-that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night. What became of all the lat-producing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment. from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions -
of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. On.it the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut cut everything but the meals you are cating new and car with every one of those two Sargol tablets. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid poras of healthy, stay here" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant blood corpuscles--gives the blood the carrying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food to every part of your body. Sargol, 100, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easily assimilated form. ⠀ Thío people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of six of the best flesh-producing elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive, and A. S. Watson & Co., VICTORIA Dispensary, The Pharmacy, Queen's Dispersary, The Edward Disi ensary, and all other first class Chemists in Hongkong, have it in stock,
