It seems there are some who are still dealing with an enemy whose virions. Countlymen are Jilling our brave comrades by asphyxiating gases.
Will you still buy the product of an enemy, though the All-British product - SANAPHOS
is superior to it?
Sanaphos is the property of an All-British Company, the Chairman of which is Sir William Taylor, M.D., formerly Principal Medical Officer of HM Forces in India, and more recently Surgeon-General of the Forces.
Sanaphos is not a drug-medicine, remember-net a false stimulant. No stimulant gives such real strength- as Sanaphos. It is just food-but its strength gets into your system almost instantly.
It supplies the substance that makes muscio ani. strength. Aud it gives quickly the elements needed by tired nerves and brain-clements which are not supplied sufficiently by ordinary food.
All the active enzymes of fresh milk are buntained in Sanaphos. Therefore it is easily digestible.
Unlike preparations of ca sexa,* it does not cause digestive ills.
Hundreds of Physicians, Hospitals the great and Nurses testify to value of Sanaphos.
It is a pure British product, an ideal nerve re-constructor and food, prepared under the supervision of an ciont British chemist.
It is sold at a less price (in a larger package) than the German- owned product which it displaces. It is a better remedial food, and its flavour is pleasant.
