"So Healthy & Vigorous"
Dr. Claude L. Wheeler, the well-known scientist, writer:
"The user of Senatogen is richly rewarded- in freedom from langmore, at 1 gain of strength and activity, alertness of mind and a rapid re- storation of the ability su plan and executa.”
Sir Gilbert Parker, Be, the famous novelist, writes:
"I have med Sanatogen with extraordinary benn 'ft. It fends the nerves, increasing the energy and giring fresh vigour to the over-warkad body and mind.
And to think that a short time ago he was one of those nervous. plodding men of whom nobody takes much notice."
"Yes, he certainly is a success now. He simply radiates energy and power.” Sanatogen infuses into the very cells of the blood and nerves those elements- phosphorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve-strength are derived. Scientific research has proved beyond doubt that Sanatogen in- creases the number of red blood cells enormously, viz. 80,000 per cmm. in one week, or 200,000 in a fortnight ́ (figures supplied by one of the leading hospitals). And in the Medical Echo, of March 1924, a physician published the following graph:

JUVENILE CRIME IN ENGLAND,
THE HOME SECRETARY'S
VIEWS.
The Home Secretary, Sir Wil- liam Joyason-Hicks, visited Castle Howard Farm School at Welburn, Yorkshire, last month, on the oc casion of the annual meeting, and prize distribution,
Sir William said that the Home Office schools, and institutions, such as that at Castle Howard, occupi- ed a very important part in the well-being of the community and in the building-up of our modern system of dealing with wrong- doers. There had been a tremen- dous revolution in our ideas of dealing with crime during the last forty or fifty years.".
It was still as important as ever to keep young boys and girls out of prison.
