Sleeplessness is a sign of nervous debility. You need not suffer from weakened nerves if only you take care to strengthen your system with Sanatogeni. 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 (Saratogan), 'as I have tried so many other things when I have suffered from sleeplessnan and general debility, without expecting it to do me sench good. Therefore, I am more than pleased to hare found at last the ideal toxic,

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