Bodily health and nerve strength! These are the secrets of those exceptional days" 'when everything seems to go right, when you have an unwonted feeling of vigour and cheer- fulness and everyone remarks: "You're looking awfully well to-day."
And such health is obtainable with Sanatogen.
in There is no preparation which is as powerful to restore vitality as Sametogen," wrote Dr. Behaim of Colembe.
Sanatogen builds up your health, it adds strength to strength because it infuses into the cells of body and blood exactly those elements-phosphorus and albumin from which nerve-strength and bodily health are derived.
That is the reason why over 24,000 physicians wrote to the makers about the excellent resulta *. obtained with Sanatogen, why a well-known physician describes the effects of Sanatogen on himself as follows:
"After I have taken Sanatogen for å few days, I can do s
routine work, which is fairly arduous, without any feeling of fatige ensuing at any ikat." (See "Medical Echo," January, 1925)

There is new strength and vitality for you too in Sanatogen. Why not give it a few weeks' trial and feel the happy difference it will make on your own health?
Obtainable at all chemists and stoYES.
