This urgent advice is given by physicians every day, in every civilised country, to sufferers from Nervous Debility, Brain-fag, Lack of Vitality, Sleeplessness, Disordered Digestion, Poverty of Blood and various Wasting Disease..
Physiciaus know that Sanatogen is a true, scientific compound of organic phosphorus and pure concen«. irated proteid; forming a new substance which k eagerly and completely, absorbed by the tissues and ossesses unique tonic and reconstructive qualities.
The Supreme Restorative.
Physicians can speak from experience of the great 'recuperative effects which 'Sanatogen has upon the brain, nerves, blood and muscles, They have watched its revivifying action, upon people whose nervoUE Srength has been depleted by over-work, worry or disease.

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.

Try Sanatogen To-day.

Truly, a magnificent monument to the value of this unique touto-food I But no less impressive is the enthusiastic testimony of patients themselves.

Mr Charles A. Camironi
C.B., M.D., Clem write--"Sanatogen is a enbstance of the highest- nutritive value, contain- as it does a large log amount of organic plios. phorus, exactly the orms in which it can be easily absorbed. It is a excellent nerve food."
Mr. Shirley Tremcarne, Editor of "Capital," 98, Clive Breet; Calcutta, writes: "I cannot speak too highly of Sanalogen, It not only kept the up during a sharp attack of fever, "but afterwards re stored me once more to full vigour. In fact, I was better and stronger! after this course of Satiat- ogen than before the attack,"
"The Medical Timeu saysThere is no doubt whatever that m
nutrition of patients taking Sanatogen im proves wonderfully, due,
all probability, to its belug casy of assimila- tion and to the organic absorbable

which it contains.!
