How Thin People Can Put On Flesh
Thin men and women that big filling dinner you ate last night. What became of the fat producing nourishment it contained. You haven’t gained in weight one ounce. The food passed through your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there but your food doesn’t work. Cut out foolish foods and funny sawdust diets and eat with every meal a Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight pounds of fat may be the result. Sargol binds with food to feed the blood and fat-making material to every part of your body. Thin people say they have gained 10 to 25 pounds a month. Sargol tablets are six assimilative elements, 40 per pack, sold with a guarantee of weight increase or money back.
