Dr. P. Rodari, Professor

of Zürich University,

writes: "Sanatogen has

a direct favourable in- fluence on the wholo nervous sysiom.''

Feel Fit

It's the nerves that suffer most in a hot climate. "Ner- viness" is the cause of that irritability, those sleepless

nights, and of many stomach complaints. Fortify your nerves with Sanatogen, the tonic food which contains exactly those elements-phosphorus and albumen that are used up by nerve-action. Then you will be following the natural way of building up your nerve. strength, and the result will be quiet energy, sound sleep and a happy feeling of fitness.
