"Oh that i Yes! I didn't feel so well a few weeks ago. I felt pretty bad--nervous, no appetité and so on. But Sanatogen made 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 3 medical studenta :
