"How did you sleep?

You certainly look fine!”

A physician writes

in the "Gentral· Practitioner": *The insomnia 'of long duration had produced great de bility treatment of every kind had no result. Senatogen two teaspoonfals, thrice daily, mai prescribed and at the end of a fort- wight the improve- ment was marked & sleep was normal.”

She: "How did I sleep 7-If I look the way I feel, you ought to see that I slept like a babe. Do you know, nowadays, I simply love life the whole long day, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed."

He: "Well, you look as fresh as a rosebud -and that is flattering language between an old married couple.”

She: "Thank you. And you sleep better yourself. What a wonderful change Sanatogen has made in both of us. Like the flow of new life through one's veins." Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements---phos phorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve strength are derived. Over 24,000 physicians have written en- thusiastic letters about the success they obtained with Sanatogen.
