Nervs-cells magnified
Frayed Nerves cause all this trouble
Easily induced fatigue, distaste for work, difficulty in concentration, lack of appetite, fidul sleep, loss of weight- all these may be signals that something is wrong with the nervous system The only logical way to overcome these, complaints is to go to the coor of the trouble--the nerves. Strengthen those nerves with Sanatogen-the finest tonic food obtainable. Saratogen feeds the nerve cells with the exact pro portion of those elements-glycero- phosphate and albumin-from which new nerve-strength is derived. By so doing Sanatogen conquersall symptoms of nerve-weakness.
A well-known Landon physician says:"
"Sanntogen gewright to the core of wall- being, via the cells, anul balds these up into a permanent and solid fabric of health.” Start taking Sunatogen to-day. You will soon notice its wonderful influence on your health; your nerves will no longer trouble you, you will sleep better, and your appetite will immediately improve.
