THE ROYAL TONIC
New Health and Nerve Power.
Make the above resolution to-day and keep it. "Sapatogen restored me once more to full vigour," writes Mr. SHIRLEY TREMEARNE, Editor of Capital, Calcutta. -
And 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 inental work in an euervat- 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, Sämatogen 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. Buy a
bottle of Saratogen at the nearest Chemist's, and send this coupon for a Free Booklet.
