Restful Nights
mean vigorous days
Sleeplessness is a sign of nervous debility. You need not suffer from weakened nerves if only you take care to strengthen your system with Sanatogén, Sanatogen infuses into your nerve, cells phosphorus and albumin which build up new strength and energy.
In an entirely natural way Sanatogen will conquer your sleeplessness and its consequences -- fatigue, listlessness and depression-and you will soon enjoy restful sleep and all-day fitness again.
Miss Norma Lorimer, the well-known authoress,
writes:
"I tried it (Sanatogen), as I have tried so many other things when I have suffered from sleepline and general debility, without expecting it to do me much Rood. Therefore I am more than pleased to have found at last the ideal tonic.”
Sanatogen banishes your nerve troubles, renews. your blood, strengthens and builds up your system into a solid and permanent fabric of health.
