"When I take Sanatogen it is as if a-new stream of life flows through my veins.”
THOSE WORDS OF A SANATOGEN-USER- CONTAIN THE PLAIN TRUTH.
SANATOGEN IS HEALTH!
It contains the essential constituents of health and the tired body and overwrought nerves seize greedily upon the new health and vitality thus brought to them. Give your body a few teaspoonfuls of this liquid strength each day, then within a few weeks you will feel energetic and cheerful again, and after the day's work you will not be tired out. In short, you will enjoy life once more.
VITALITY CAN NOW BE MEASURED. Physicians have dis- way of covered a measuring vitality. In a test, several normal persons were tested, first without having taken Sanat ogen, and then after a fortnight's use of Sanatogen. Their vitality had im- proved by 24%.
