"SANATOGEN will soon put him right again"

Physicians know by experience, how quickly and surely Sanatogen will build up strength in debilitated patients.

Whatever the cause of the weakness, be it illness, overwork, or worry, Sanatogen cannot fail to do good. The phosphorus it contains is pure strength to the weakened nervecells. The albumin is nature's own building material of bodily power. It is the intricate com- bination of these two elements that has won Sanatogen the written recommendations of over 25,000 physicians. And the splendid part of it is that Saratogen is not only a true tonic-food, but also very easily digestible, so that the weakest patient, and the weakest stomach, can digest it. Sanatogen must do you good. It does not interfere with any medical treatment, and every glassful brings you nearer to perfect health again. Shorten that tedious period of convalescence. Be strong and healthy again. You can if you start your course of Saratogen today.
