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 Sanatogen. Sapatogen 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 authores,
writes:
"I tried it (Sanatogen), de l'have tried so many other "things when I have suffered from sleeplessness and general debility, without expecting it to do me much good. Therefore I am more than pleased to have found at last the idzal tonic?
Sanatogen banishes your nerve troubles, renewa your blood, strengthens and builds up your system into a solid and permanent fabric of health.
