Let's Enjoy Life!

Do you enjoy your leisure or are you so tired at the close of the day that you are only too glad to rest ?- All "day you are using up energy-energy which must be renewed. Without this power of renewal there comes a point when you can do no more. That is exhaustion! The effects of fatigue have been strikingly shown by recent scientific tests published in the "Medical Echo." The amount of energy spent after 6 hours' work was accurately measured by the Scheiner test.

Tests were made on a group of people before they took ⚫Sanatogen, and again after they had taken Sanatogen twice daily for 14 days. The following observations were made. Fatigue after 6 hours' continuous work: Without Sanatogen 92% With Sanatogen 33% That means that aftera fortnight's use of Sanatogen the workers had a gain of over 50% energy.

Sanatogen is a mighty nerve-food-recharging every cell of your body with the proper supply of health- giving substances. Begin taking Samafogen to day, almost immediately you will feel a new energy, and a new joy in life; and you will be fit and fresh" at the close of the day's duties to enjoy your evenings.
