Strengthen those

Nerves

Neurasthenia (nerve-weakness) has been called the disease of the 20th century." It is estimated that 95% of the popula tion suffer from it. Trembling, of the hands, irritability, restlessness are a few symptoms; so are sleeplessness, stomach. trouble, lack of energy. All are due to one cause-weakness of the nerve-cells. It follows then, the only logical way to conquer these complaints is to strengthen the nervous system.

You can do that with Sanatogen. As a well- known physician. has stated: "Sanatogen goes right to the core of well-being, viz, the cells and builds these up into a fabric of lasting health.” Sanatogen feeds the cells of the body with the exact proportion of those elements-glycero phosphate and albumin-from which new nerve-strength is derived.

...

After a short course of Sanatogen nerve- weakness will disappear and very soon you will feel radiantly Healthy again strong and energetic with a keen appetite and a new joy in life, Birt taking Sanatogen to-day and notice its wonderful Influence on your health.
