Make the above resolution today and keep it. "Sanatogen restored me once more to full vigour," writes Mr. SHIRLEY TREMEARNE, Editor of Capital, Calcutta.
Aud Sanatogen will restore you to full vigour; for, as Sir H. HESKETH BELL, K.C.M.G., writes: "There is no better invigorator than Sanatogen for a man doing hard mental work in an enervat ing climate."
Sanatogen-the Tonic Food.
Take Sanatogen regularly for a time, and you will be astonished at the improvement in your health and nerve power. Moreover, Sanatogen will so increase your natural powers of resistance against disease that you will be far less likely to "suffer from dysentery, heat-exhaustion, or dis- cases of the stomach and bowels. Bny a bottle of Sanatogen at the nearest Chemist's, and send this coupon for a Free Booklet.
