TACK of appetite is mostly due to stomach trouble, which in turn is usually a question of "nerves" Nerve weakness prevents the proper functioning of the stomach and intestines and it is only by strengthening the weakened nerves that you can restore the proper functioning of the digestive organs and so, in a logical way, regain a healthy appetite.

Every particle of Sunatogen will acruallyhelp to restore let nervous vitality, because. Sanatogen pro- vides the nerve cells with phosphorus and albumin
