AND THEY USED TO BE SO THIN.
Get in the Game-Sargot Makes Puny, Peevish People Plump and Popular. Perhaps you yourself have enived the rounded beauty of such figures as these graceful, well-developed, splendidly healthful you see them at all public places-admired by all.
Perhaps you dread to don your street, tennis or baking dress because of your own painful thinness-you wonder bitterly why you are thin-you cat good food and plenty of it--but somehow you can't gain flesh-why is it?
You are thin doubtless because the flesh-producing elements in your foods pass away from your body instead of being retained to build it up your system lacks the power of proper assimilation-a dozen meals a day will not increase your weight-- they will only add to the loss.
You need something to stop this waste-you need Sargol.
SARGOL combines with the sugars, starches, fats and albumenoids in your food in such a way that they are readily absorbed by the blood and carried to the parts of the body where they are most needed to nourish and build it up.
yourself improving As your semi-starved body gains in flesh and rounds out to its normal beautiful proportions you will find wonderfully in looks, io vitality and in vigour.
Try this wonderful flesh builder that has made thousands of men and women heavier, healthier and happier. A Gold Medal was awarded Sargol at the Brussels Exposition in 1910, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. WATSON & Co., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE PHARMACY, QUEEN'S Dispensary, The EdwARD DISPENSARY, and all other first-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock.

The impression was also largely due to the biggest German aero planes being withdrawn to take part in the big drive at Russia. Then the German battle aeroplates did considerable damage, until the French introduced fast scents and the so-called aviator cannons, carry ing in quick-firers instead of machine us German aeroplane were again scurce in the west till October, when big ong-distance machines were sent to Servia, Bulgaria, and Bakovina, and to watch the Roumanian army on the Hungarian frontier.
