Malarial Debility

The destructive work of the malaria parasite mürkes our blood thin and watery and even when quinine has killed the parasites, this poverty of blood remains.

The result is, that the malaria patient suffers from nervous and mental symptoms of various kinds, including loss of memory, impairment of the vision, depression of the spirits, unrefreshing sleep, a sense of lassitude and ever increasing weakness. Conquer these symptoms of rapid ageing with Sanategen. Sanztogen will strengthen the cells and tissues of nerves and body, increasing the quantity of red blood corpuscles in an amazingly short time. In one of the leading hospitals this increase was officially tabulated for 6 patients as follows:
