Moreover, your susceptibility to fevers, gout, sciatica, rheumatism, etc., will be greatly reduced, so potent is the action of Sanatogen in raising the disease-resisting forces of your blood.

Or, if you are suffering from nervous debility, Sanatogen will quickly renew your nerve cells and remove such symptoms as headache, loss of sleep, Indigestion, and easily-induced fatigue.
