"The road to
full convalescence
(An Edinburgh Physician's personal experience).
"I suffered from a severs attack of Septic Pneumonia in Jans, 1923, followed by a severe nervous breakdown, with the usual symptoms of nervousness, insomnio, periods of acute depression, and general weakness; nothing seemed to be of much benefit till began the use of your Sanategen?" I am now glad to say, that I am much better, well on the road to full convalescence." When you, like this physician, are suffering from general weakness-when you have only partly regained your health after some serious illness--then start taking Saratogen. Sanatogen infuses into the cells of body and blood exactly those elements-albumin and phosphorus--which build up your Health and Strength lastingly,

Her shopping began at the Palestine pavilion where she bought a small Jewish i religious object in silver filigree. From there she went to East Africa. British Guiana, West Indies, Newfoundland, and Cyprus, buying many articles with evident delight.
