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 fat-producing nourishment That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. 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. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are cating now and eat with every one of those two Sargol tablets. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy, stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargal 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 pan of your body. Sargol, too, mixes- with your food and prepares it for the blood in casily assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 10 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 DISPENSARY, THE EDWARD DISPENSARY, and all oiber first-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock.
