Doctors Say There Is a Safe Simple Way To Get Fat.

Medical inen as well as chemists of known standing agres in declaring Sargol to be the long-sought missing link which all" thin folks lack. The instantineous success of this new preparation is the wonder of the advertising world. The wiseacres of the advertising profession who have seen patem medicines come and go admit that there must be something in Sargol."
From the very first the discoverers of Sargol have courted the fullest investigation. They insist that Sargol is not to be classed with patent medicines, for doctors order it frequently.

At any rate, the test will tell, and every reader who has the misfortune to be from to to 30 pounds underweight should try Sargot.
A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. Watson & Co., LTD., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, TRE PHARMACY, QUEEN's Discessary, The Edward Dispensary, and all other first-class Chemists in Hong kong have it in stock,
