This urgent advice is given by physicians every day, în every civilised country, to sufferers from Nervous Debility, Brain-fog, Lack of Vitality, SleeplessEKS, Disordered Digestion, Poverty of Blood and various Wasting Diseases.
Physicians know that Sanatogen is a truc scientific compound, of organic phosphorus and pure concen 'trated proteid, forming a new substance which K ́eagerly and completely absorbed by the Hissues and possesses unique tonis and reconstructive, qualities.
The Supreme Restorative.
Physicians can speak frops experience of the great recuperative effects which Sanatogen hds upon the brain, nerves, blood and intuscles. They have watched its. revivifying action upon. people whose nervous strength has been depleted by over-work, worry or disease. They have noted how Sanatogen gives lasting benefit, how it regenerates the appetite and digestion, brings back the bloom to the cheek, · · replaces wakeful nights by sound refreshing sleep- in short, enables the human machinery to perform its functions so perfectly, that the patient loses his depression of spirits, gains confidence and courage, and finds life again worth living.
"
Fighting Malaria and Dysentery.
Apart from its value as a general tonic, Sanato gen is of the greatest service to the physician in fighting Malaria, Dysentery and other scourges of tropical climates..
On this subject, 'Dr. H. H. W. H., of Babu- garah, United Provinces, writes:-"I have
pach pleasure in certifying, to- the 'value' of Sanatogen in cases of Dysentery, Enteric Fever and other exhausting diseases. I have used it'regularly in my practice for the past two years, and in no sigle instance have I been" disappointed with its results. I can honestly affirm that many of my worst cases owe their recovery to Sanatogen."
Try Sanatogen To-day.
At the head offices of the manufacturer of Sanatogen there. are filed more than fourteen thousand letters from practising physicians who certify to the value of Sanatogen. Truly a magnificent monument to the value of this unique tonic food
But no less impressive is the enthusiastic testimony of patients themselves, Thousands of well-known people in every-walk of life have publicly testifed to the wonderful benefits they have received from Sanatigen, and a few of their letters are 'reproduced here..

Mr. Shirley Tremearns, Editor of "Capital," 8, Clive.

In fact, I was better and stronger after this course of Sanat- ogen than before the attack,"
"The Medical Times “

Sir Gilbert Parker, MP., the popular Novelist, writes: 20, Carites House Terrace, S.W.- I have used Sanatogen with extraordinary bene- fit. It is to my mind a truc food tonic, feeding the nerves, increasing the energy, and giving fresh vigour to the over-worked body and igind.”
