Groups of people were tested before, and ofter a fortnight's use of Sanatogen. A remarkable mcrease in vitality was found, in some cases over 60% — See "Medical Echo," January, 3925.
Sanatogen Defeats Fatigue!
Sanatogen renews the blood and strengthens the nerves. The physician, who conducted the experi ments referred to above, writes:
*My
own experience is that after I have taken Sanatogen for a few days I can do my routine work without any feeling of fatigue ensuing at any time.”
Here then is indisputable proof that Sanatogen is a mighty nerve food and energiser, Taken regularly, night and morning, it will enable you to do your day's work practically without fatigue, and to come to your hours of recreation full of the joyous energy of healthy life. Sanatogen supplies body and nerves with just those clements-albumin and organic phosphorus-which are necessary to build up radiant health and vitality.
