Conquer Malarial® Debility

"As long as I live I shall pray for the continued success of Sanalogen, which has saved my life." As a result of re peated attacks of malarial fever, I had become an absolute wreck and could not eat anything."

"The doctor prescribed Sanatogen, I have had no more attacks of fever, my digestion is now perfect and I can cat and enjoy my food. A great indescribable feeling of cheerfulness has come over me," wrote Mr. M. J. Seth of Bombay. The destructive work of the malaria parasite makes your blood thin, and, even when quinine has killed the parasite, this poverty of blood remains.

A short course of Sanatogen will strengthen the cells and tissues of nerves and body, in- creasing the quantity of red blood corpuscles.

In the "Medical Echo" of March, 1924, a physician writes on his results ab tained with Sanatogen in 80 cases of andemia. The average increase of red blood corpuscles in these cases was as high as 60% within three weeks. Regain your Energy and Strength with
