"The results of diminished nerve-force comprise headache, loss of sleep, indi- gestion, easily induced fatigue, disin clination for bodily or mental exertion, lass of memory and a lack of vigour in all physical functions. To overcome these conditions science has produced Sanatogen. The gain through its aid is permanent; it builds up, fortifies and strengthens because it is a real cell food.”

!

These are the words of Dr. Claude L.WHEELER, the well-known scientist. They prove what Sanatogen will do for you! And remember that DR. WHEELER is only one of 24,000 physicians who tried Sanatogen and wrote to the makers about the splendid resuits obtained.

..

A tonic, the value of which has been proved so often and so clearly, is surely worth while trying.

4

Start taking Sanatogen to-day and see how it will revitalize you, how it will overcome that debility and listlessness, how it will give you sound sleep at night and healthy energy in the day.
