New Health and Nerve Power.
Make the above resolution to-day and keep it. Sanatogen restored nic once more to full vigour," writes. SHIRLEY TREMEARNE, Editor of Capital, Calcutta:
And Sanatogen will restore you to full vigour; for, as SIR H. HESKETH BELL, K.CM.G., writes: "There is no better in- vigorator than Sanatogen for a man doing hard mental work in an enervating climate."
Sanatogen--the Tonic Food.
Take Sanatogen regularly for a time, and you will be astonished at the improvement in your health and nerve power. Moreover, Sanatogen will so increase your natural powers of resistance against disease that you will be far less likely to suffer from dysentery, heat exhaustion, or diseases of the stomach and bowels. Buy a bottle of Sanatogen at the nearest Chemist's, and send this coupon for a Free Booklet.
