New Strength

Dr. Claude L. Wheeler writes: "The weakened tissues and nerves absorb Sanatogen readily, without causing any strain to the digestive system. The revitaliz ing influence of Saratogen is often immediate."

Sanatogen infuses into the very cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phosphorus and albumin-from which health and strength are derived. When you feel weak or nervous, start taking Sanatogen at once. You will enjoy its revivifying

influence within a few weeks.
