"I must-will-get back my health!"
The man who says this to him- self-really meaning it-is thereby helping and hastening his own recovery — so » much does will-power influence bodily processes...
But in nerve weakness, unfor tunately the will-power itself is enteebled: the patient is too limp and listless to make the necessary effort of volition; and it is here eliat Sanatogen comes to his aid.
"
For Sanatogen," writes a physician in the Medical Press and Circular, “ants as a powerful nervine tonic, supplying sthaulas to the higher centres of the brain and spinal cord, and exciting the will-power to yigrirons. action."
As another physician (Dr. Claude Wheeler) pats it: "Even the mental faculties share in the revivifying infpence of Sanatogen, and there is rapid restora- tion of the ability to plan and execute.”
That is why all who are attacked by.. such symptoms should promptly counter- act them by invigorating the brain and nervous system with a course of Sanatogen.

The advertisement led to a meeting be- tween Frau Rosa Rosenbauma, a wealthy widow, and the Marquis Edward Maffei, an old gentleman of 69, with a family tree six pages long, who had once held, an estate and a commission in a cavalry regiment,. but since the war had fallen on evil times, In return for Fran Rosenbaum's promise to pay him over 20,000 kmaen (then about (152), he agreed to make the lady the Marchioness Maffei They were duly married and the Marquis received 50,000 kroun, but that was apparently as far as the mutter gat, for on April 26th of this year the Marquis appeared before the magistrates to claim the balance of his marriage money.
