"Feeling like 10 men & a boy
"I would not be without Senatogen under any circuNS - - stances" writes Max Pemberton, the famous author
-especially the boy"
"Formerly I regarded a nerve-food on a par with coloshes, flannel next the skin and dill-water." Thus a contributor wrote in Golfing, “June, 1926.
Feeling cheap and nasty after a motor-accident, he was persuaded-as he protests-in a weak moment, to try Sanatogen.
"Since then," he writes, "I have felt relatively
like ten men and a boy, especially the boy." Small wonder that he is enthusiastic and recommends Sanatogen. Sanatogen is a highly concentrated nerve-food, infusing into the very cells of blood and nerves those, elements- phosphorus and" albumin-from which they derive strength and vigour.
That is why Sanatogen must do you good, why it will conquer fatigue, renew the blood and "revivify the whole nervous system.
Decide to start a course of Sanatogen to-day. So many people are enthusiastic about Sanatogen; why should you not, at least, try it ?
SANATOGEN
The True Tonic-Food Sanatogen is obtainable ar all Chemists and Stores.
