"How did you sleep?

You certainly look fine!”

A physician writes

in the "General, Practitioner":

"The insomnia of long duration hed produced great de- bility; treatment of every kind had no result. Sonatogen, two teaspoonfuls, thrice daily, was prescribed and at. the end of a fort. night the improve- meni was markeds sleep was normal,"

She: "How did I sleep?-If I look the way I feel, you ought to see that I slept like a babe: Do you know, nowadaya, 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.

When you sleep badly, when your nerves are upsct, then try Sanatogen for a few weeks, and feel the won.Erful difference in your own' health Obtainable at all chemists and stores.
