"Revitalize your nerves by taking Sanatogen,* That is what your doctor will advise you, when lat lessness, lack of appetite, or fretful sleep are robbing you of your health and joy of life.

For physicians know that all these complaints have their roots in one and the same cause: weakness of the nerves. And it is only by strengthening your nerves, that you can regain your former health and vitality.

Strengthen your nerves with Sanatogen — the true tonic-lood, Sanatogen contains the very elements that build bodily health and vital strength-phosphorus and proteid. Sanatogen will make you feel stronger, healthier and consequently happier-even after a short course.

"I never hesitate to recommend Sanatogin to my satjants in zass of nervous exhaustion, and it givar very benaßicial results. I do not obtain such moults with the usual tonics,”

writes a well-known Engiith phystalan.

Over 25,000 physicians have given Sanatogen similar enthus lastic recommendations, because Sanatogen must do good. Start taking it to-day, then you will soon enjoy once again the feeling of radiant vitality and strength, that makes life worth living.
