AN
EASY WAY TO GET FAT AND BE STRONG,
This trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless flesh creams," or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you cat.
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 convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This master-stroke of modern chemistry is called 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 clements 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 fill out, hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disappear and you take on from 10 to so pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, efficient. A. 5. WATSON & CO., LTD., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE PHARMACY, QUEEN'S DISPENSARY, THE EDWARD Dispengary, and all other first class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock.
