Yet in the game-Fargol makes Puny, Puevish People Plump and Popular SARGUL, the concentrated food that puts on good, healthy flesh, sometimes at the rate of a pound a day, builds up the thin and weak, brings back the rosy blush of health, rounds out the skinny, scrawny figures to lines of beauty and plumpness, does it easy, quickly and effectively.

You don't understand.it? Well, to tell the truth, neither do we. But after a long series of costly experiments we hit upon an idea" aud produced a combination of tissue building elements, which have performed wonders in making thin people plump and fat. Sargol was made to put flesh on thin folks, but we dont understand one-half the other remarkable things it does for the thin and undeveloped, the pale and the weak, the dull and the listless. It is not a drug for a stimulant, but can be best classed as a concentrated food with high tisque-building qualities. A food that creates rich, red blood, builds brain and brawa, handens flabby muscles and makes ever a confrmed dyspeptic sit up and take notice." In building tisne it has a higher value than good beefsteak or eggs

Sargo helps you to assimilate your food, to get the utmost good out of every monthful. Take it with your meals for a few days, the test will tell. See how your digestion has improved, how the blue melancholy feeling goes, how good your meals

taste

A few days more and you begin to take on flesh. You look better, act better, you can do more, do it quicker and easier. Your friend slaps you on the shoulder and says: "Hello, Bill, you're looking fine, never saw you looking botter."

But you don't need to be told this. You know it yourself. You know you are gaining weight, feeling more fit then you have felt for years.
