Sleeplessness is a sign of nervous debility. You need not suffer from weakened nerves if only you take care to strengthen, your system with Sanatogen. Sanatogen infuses into your nerve- cells phosphorus and albumin which build up new strength and energy.

In an entirely natural way Sanatogen will conquer your sleeplessness and its consequences-fatigue, listlessness and depression-and you will soon enjoy restful sleep and all-day fitness again.

Miss Norma Lorimer, the well-known authoress,

writes:**

"I tried it (Sanstogan), as I have triad sa many other things when I have suffered from sleeplessness and general debility, without expecting it to do ma much good. Therefore I am more than pleased to hers found at last the ideal tonic.”

Sanatogen banishes your nerve troubles, renews. your blood strengthens and builds up your system into a solid and permanent fabric of health.
