Mark the steep rake of those three tall funnels, of those slender masts that call to mind visions of old time barques; the high, sharp prow that fails away on either side in long graceful lines. That slim gure and the judicious choice of colouring show her to be a typical modern lady. Yes, this oue is a lady, Mr. Kipling.

જ્ઞ
A physician writes in the Medical
Echo ":
"After taking Sanat- ogen for a few weeks I can do my work without any feeling of fatigue ensuing at any time."
Hullo! how are you?
Mr.Cosmo Hamilton, the well-known nu. velist and dramatist, writes:
"Sanalogen gives me the energy to do twice as much work, twice as well. It is to the brains ded nerves. what petrol is to the enging.TM
"Great, feeling fine! Things really might be better-but life is not so bad after all." "You have changed! The other day you
told me a different story."
"Oh that! Yes! I didn't feel so well a few weeks ago. I felt pretty bad-nervous, no appetite. and so on. But Sanatogen mnade a wonderful difference. In a few weeks' time all the old energy came back. It's a glorious thing to be thoroughly healthy, in fact, it makes you feel young again.".
Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phos phorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve-strength are derived. In the Medical Echo of Jan, 1926, a physician describes how, he tested Sanatogen on 5 medical students:
"In a fortnight their physical and mental energy increased by an average of 23%. Some of their comments on Sandsogen were amusing, such as: A reai fog-killera brain-jogger ---and—a real grey-matter tonic.”
SANATOGEN

When you feel nervous or min-down, take Sanatogen, for a few weeks and feel the difference in your own health. Obtainable at all chemists and stores.
