Read how others succeeded in building up their health with SANATOGEN,
My husband used to come home from work utterly tired out some- times too tired to eat. Now, after taking Sanatogen, he is ever so much brighter in himself. Even after the first dose of Sanatogen he noticed the difference. He is not nearly so tired- and his appetite has certainly increased."
Take Sanatogen to build up a reserve of bodily and nervous strength! Take Sanatogen, and you will forget what nerve weak- ness means for it will restore you to sound, lasting health.
Sanatogen provides the muscles, nerves and blood with exactly the right proportion of glycero-phos phate and albumin that the run- down system needs. Sanatogen gives you new strength and vitality to conquer all foris. of nerve weakness-loss of.
