Strengthen those
Nerves
Neurasthenia (nerve-weakness) has been called the "disease of the 20th century." It is estimated that 95% of the popula- tion suffer from it. Trembling of the hands, irritability, restlessness are a few. symptoms; so are sleeplessness, stomach trouble, lack of energy. All are due to one cause-weakness of the nerve cells. It follows then, the only logical way to conquer these complaints is to strengthen the nervous system.
!.
You can do that with Sanatogen. As a well- known physician has stated: "Sanatogen goes right to the core of well-being, viz., the cells and builds these up into a fubric of lasting health." Sanatogen feeds the cells of the body with the exact proportion of those elements-glycero- phosphate and albumin-from which new nerve-strength is derived. After a short course of Sanatogen nerve- weakness will disappear and very soon you will feel radiantly healthy again-strong and energetic - with a keen appetite and a new joy in life. Start taking Sanatogen to-day and notice its wonderful influence on your health.
