Energy
"The longer I live the more I am certain that the great difference between men, between the feeble and the powerful, the great and the insignificant, is energy-- invincible determination, a purpose once fixed and then death or victory. That quality will do anything that can be done in this world; and no talents, no circum stances, no opportunities, will make a two-legged creature a man without it.”
Sir T. F. BUXTON, Bart, The use of Sanatogen for a few weeks means an entire overhaul of the whole mechanism of Health Sanatogen, by power of its two constituents-albumin and phosphorus-re builds every cell of your body, renews the blood, gives new strength and energy to the debilitated nerves and enables you to do twice as much twice as well. Sanatoren is a true conqueror of fatigue. Prof. Mann, formerly of Oxford University, wrote:
"A building up process goes on in the nerves
after the administration of Sanatogen.".
Start taking Sanatogen to-day. Irritability, depression, sleeplessness, fatigue and all other symptoms of nervousness will quickly vanish and you will begin to enjoy better Health, greater Energy and a happier life.
