Accordingly. new programme for personnel training must be formulated, and enforced After the completion of their training, medicoes should be expect- ed to fill a place intermediate be tween the physicians, pharmacists, and oral surgeons on the one hand and the general public on the other.

"There is abundant evidence of the value of Sanatogen as a restorative

"Sanatogen gives a distinct restorative effect", writes Sir Luke White.
"My nurses and myself were very much struck with my rapid improvement, with Sanatogen"; writes the wife of a well- known doctor, Mrs, C. A. M. Phillips.
"A Wonder-worker" are the words in which Mr. Coulson Kernahan, the well- known author, describes Sanatogen.
"A Great Strengthener", wrote the Hon. Sir F. A. Robertson, Judge of the Chief Court, Lahore, about Sanatogen.
Remember that these letters-and thousands similar were written by people who, before the use of Sanatogen, were, just as sceptical as you may be of its tonic effects. But they decided to try Sanatogen and they got back their health and vigour.
"Sautogen"—as a well-known London physician puts it goes straight to the core of well-being. namely, the cells and builds these up into a permanent and solid fabric of health."
