*Saratogen has a directly favou

Dr. P. Rodad,
Prof. of Med.
Frayed Nerves
Nerve-cell magnified
cause all this trouble
Easily induced fatigue, distaste for work, difliculty in concentration, lack of appetite, fitful sleep, loss of weight-
all these may be signals that something is wrong with the nervous system. The only logical way to overcome these complaints is to go to the root of the trouble-the nerves. Strengthen those nerves with Sanatozen-the finest tonic food obtainable. Sanatogen feeds the nerve cells with the exact pro- portion of chose elements-glycero phosphate and albumin-from which new nerve-strength is derived. By sợ doing Sanatogen conquersall symptoms of nerve weakness.
A well-known London physician says::.
“Senatogus goes tight to the core of well bing, with the cells, mid builds these up into a permanent and solid fabric of health," Start taking Senatogen to-day. You. will soon notice its wonderful influence on your health; your nerves will no longer trouble you, you will sleep better, and your appetite will immediately Improve.
