AND THEY USED TO BE SO THIN,

Gat in the Game--Sargol Makes Puny, fecerish People Plump and Popular. Perhaps you yourself have enived the rounded beauty of such figures as these graceful, well-developed, splendidly bealthful you see them at all public places admired by all.

Perhaps you dread to do, your street, tennis or bathing dress because of your own painful thiness--you wonder bitterly why you are thin-you eat good food and plenty of it--but somehow you can't gain flesh-why is it?

You are the 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..

SARCOL combines with the sugars, stardes, 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..

As your seni starved body gains in flesh and resids out to its normal beautiful proportions you will find yourself improving

wonderfully in tooks, in 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 1916, another at Rome in 1911. A. S. WATSON & Co., VICTORIA DISPENSARY, THE PHARMACY, QUEEN's Deressary, The Enward DISPENSARY, and all other first-class Chemists in Hongkong have it in stock.
