It's all bosh to say that this is the nature of the Individual. It Isn't Nature's way at all. Thin folks stay thin because their powers of assimilation are defective. They absorb just enoueh of the food they eat to maintain life and a semblance of health and strength. Stuffing won't help them.

A dozen meals a day won't make them gain a single "stay there" pound. All the fat-producing elements of their food just stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. What suc-h people need Is something that will prepsre these fatty food elements so that their blood csn absorb them and deposit them all about the body something, too. that will multiply their red blood corpuscles and Increase their blood's carrying power. For such a condition I always recommend eating a Hargol tablet with every meal.

Sargol Is not as some believe, a patent drug, but is a scientific combination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh building elements known to chemistry. It is absolutely harmless, yet wonderfully effective and a single tablet eaten with esch meal often has the effect of Increasing the weight of a thin man or woman from three to five pounds a week. Sargol Is sold by Arnold Drug Topeka. and other good druggists everywhere on a positive guarantee of weight increase or money back. Adv.
