The Mirror Shows Plainer Than Words What a Wonderful Improvement
May Be Realized by a Gain of Even 10 or 12 Pounds.
SARGOL MAKES PUNY. PEEVISH PEOPLE
PLUMP AND POPULAR.“
If you are tired of being called "Skinny" Bean-pole." or any of the other tormenting names shouted at thin folks, you will be glad to hear of a remarkable discovery that puts on good solid flesh at a wonderful rate,
The thin man has a gaunt, cadaverous, hungry look that gives an unfavourable impression when he meets people, and his unfavourable Impression seriously detracts from his success.
The thin wontan has a scrawny, angular look, that, no matter how regular ber features, destroys the charm of feminine beauty. The rounded curves of the plump woman so pleases the eye that even an unfortunue face is forgotten and she is called
beautiful.
Thanks to this new discovery, this remarkable flesh builder, Sargol, you can now fie plump and well developed, the bones covered with good solid flesh, the hollow places filled out so that wrinkles disappear and the sharp angles changed into beautiful curves. Scrawny necks and shoulders will grow into a form of beauty and the cheeks. and face will become plamp, full and attractive.
There is no strenuous exercising required, no drastic diet necessary, Just use Sargol, the new Besh building element, and see the weight increase in a natural way. You ask how this is accomplished. Very easily; Sargot simply helpis nature by restoring a perfect assimilation of food. Thin people are usually thin because they do not absorb the nutriment they should get out of their food. It simply passes through the system as cual shakes out of a wide grate when only partially consumed. Use Sargol and you will entirelye m edy the imperfect assimilation so that what you eat will fill out the loose skin and cover the bony angles with flesh that has been lacking. It will not only make you look better, but will make you feel better, giving the vitality and Jife that is the heritage of the well developed.
A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. WATSON & Co., Lrn,, Victoria DispensarY, THE PHARMACY. "Queen's Di-PENBARY, THE ERWARd Dispensary, and all other first-class Chemiste in
