All the active "enzymes" of fresi ilk are containex in Sanaphos. Therefore it is easily digestible.

Unlike preparations of "casein," it does not cause digestive ills.

Hundreds of Physicians, Hospitals and Nurses testify to the great value of Sanaphos.

It is a pure British product, an ileal nerve re-constructor and food, prepared under the supervision of an emlaent British chemist.

It is sold at a less price (in a larger package) than the German- wwned product which it displaces. It is a better remedial food, and its flavour is pleistot
