Nerves

debilitated nerves take up Sanatogen as the parched earth drinks in water.”

-in these words a well-known physician in his book “Nerve Energy” describes the action of Sanatogen.

Every single particle of Sanatogen is greedily absorbed by the blood stream and, without any waste, forms new nerve-strength and vigorous energy.

This remarkable influence of Sadhtogen is based on strictly logical facts. Sanatogen gives the body the exact proportion of those elements glycero-phosphate and albumin--from which nature builds up a lasting store of health and strength.

And the results?—even after a few weeks you will notice a wonderful improvement in your health... Over, 24,000 physicians recommend Sanatogen in writing; hun- dreds of thousands of satisfied users testify to the value of Sanatogen.. It will make you feel fit and fresh where formerly you felt flatless and fatigued—your appetite will improve-you will once more enjoy sound, healthy sleep.

Give Sanatogen a trial every Chemist
