"Now see that he takes Sanatogen regularly three times a day!”
HONGKONG.
That is the doctor's parting injunction- addressed to the wife because he know she will hold the patient to it.
Feed your patient systematically with Saratogen," writes a doctor to his confrères in the Medical Press. “It is readily absorbed, and has an immediate and remarkable effect, shown by a steady increase of weight and mus cular strength. The patient sleeps, thecolour is brought back to his cheeks; his energy of mind and body is. gradually restored, and he loses his depression of spirits."
Invigorate your Nerves with
!
SANATOGEN
The True Tonic-Food
because Sanatogen is the ideal energising food for the healthy, as well as for the sick.
+
In the words of Professor. Mann-formerly Assistant Professor of Physiology at Oxford University--"A building-up process goes on in the nerves after the administration of Sanatogen.”
Consequently, six weeks, use of Sanatogen increases your nerve- energy by 63 per cent.—28proved by actual tesis on human subjects, made by a physician attached to King's College Hospital, London. Go to the nearest chemist or stores, buy Sanatogen and take it regularly three times a day
