Gala Healthy Flesh-Increase Your Weight from Ten
To Thirty Pounds-By Taking Sargol.
Thin Men and Women say “I'd give most anything to put on a little flesh and weight," but when a friend suggests a way they declare: "Not a chance. I've tried everything and am doomed to stay thin. I'm built that way."
Being "built to stay thin" means only that your digestive tract is so disarranged that it doesn't properly prepare the fat producing elements of your food for assimilation by your blood. Or, it may mean that your blood itself lacks the red corpuscle the carrying power--to properly absorb these flesh producing ingredients.
In either event the major portion of your needed, normal nourishment goes to waste. It isn't food that makes folks fat. It's what the blood absorbs from the food-the sugars, starches, albuminoids of what you eat. If your body absorbed all the fat making material you cat you would plump up to proper portions very quickly,
You can quickly stop this waste by eating SARGOL with your meals and by stopping it you can easily, rapidly and safely gain from ten to thirty pounds of solid, health weight. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive. A. S.
