"Sunstogen gives me the energy to do twice as much work, twice as well It is to the brains and nerves what petrol is to the angie."
"Great, feeling fine! Things really might be better-but life is not so bad after all." "You have changed! The other day you told me a different story.",

Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phos phorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve-strength are derived. In the Medical Echo of Jan, 1926, a physician describes how he tested Sanatogen on 5 medical students: "In a fortnight their physical and mental anigy increased by un average of 23%-Soms of their comments on Sonologen were amusing, mich ani A real fag-killer braürjogger -guida real grey-matter wwwic.”
