NO APPETITE?
Your lack of appetite is due to "nerve weakness.” Strengthen your nerves with Sanatogen, the finest tonic-food obtainable. Sanatogen builds up new strength in the debilitated nerve cells and revitalizes the whole nervous system. Once the nerves are strengthened with Sanatogen, your nervous complaints, like lack of appetite, stomach troubles and sleeplessness will quickly disappear. Buy a bottle of Sanatogen to-day.
