All are due to one cause weakness of the nerve cella 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, vie, 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 Sanetogen nerve weakness, will disappear and very soon 7 will feel radiantly healthy again strong and energetic with a keen appetite and a new Joy In life.
