Without this power of renewal there comes 'a point when you can do no more. That is exhaustion I The effects of fatigue have been strikingly shown by recent scientific tests published in the "Medical Echo." The amount of energy spent after 6 hours' work was a accurately measured by the Scheiner test.

Tests were made on a group of people before they took Sanatögen, and again after they had taken Sanatogen twice daily for 14 days. The following observations were made. Fatigue after 6 hours' continuous worki Without Sapatogen 92% With Sanatogen 33% That means that aftera fortnight's use of Sanatogen the workers had a gain of over 50% energy. Sanatogen is a mighty nerve-food-recharging every cell of your body with the proper supply of health giving substances. Begin taking Sanatogen to-day, almost immediately you will feel a pew energy, and a new joy in life; and you will be fit and fresh at the close of the day's duties to enjoy your evenings
