'THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
To People Who Are
Under Normal Weight
Good Advice For Thin Unde-
veloped Men and Women
Who Want to Put on Flesh.
ThougandH uf people puffer from
excessive thinness weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who. having tried
advertised flesh-makers food-fads
physical culture stunts and rub-on
ci earns resign themselves to life-
long skinniness and think nothing
will make them fat. Yet their case if
not hopeless a recently discovered
combination of assimilative agents
has made fat grow after years of
thinness and it is also unequaled
judging from reports for repairing
the waste of sickness or faulty diges-
tion and for strengthening the
nerves. This remarkable preparation
is called Sargol. Six strength-giving
fat-producing assimilative elements
of acknowledged merit have been
combined in this preparation which
is endorsed and used by prominent
people everywhere. It is absolutely
harmless inexpensive and efficient.
A few weeks systematic use of Sar-
gol should go far to produce flesh
and strength by correcting faults of
digestion and by supplying nourish-
in fats to the blood. If not every
druggist who sells It is authorized to
return the purchase price. Increased
nourishment is obtained from the
food eaten and the additional fats
that thin people need are thus pro-
vided. H. L. Wagner San Antonio
and other leading druggists supply
Sargol and say there is a large de-
mand for it.
While this new preparation has
from reports given splendid results
as a nen e-tnnlc and vHtallzer its use
is not recommended to nervous peo-
ple unless they wish to gain at least
ten pounds of flesh.
