Conquer that Weakness!

You can-with SANATOGEN

"There is abundant evidence of the

value of Sanatogen as a restorative

and food, and more particularly

in cases of general debility”.

"writes “The Lancet.”

"Sanatogen gives a distinct restorative effect", writes Sir Luke White.

"My nurses and myself were very much struck with my rapid improvement with Sanatogen", writes the wife of a well- known doctor, Mrs. C. A. M. Phillips.

"A Wonder-worker" are the words in which Mr. Coulson Kernahan, the well- known author, describes Sanatogén.

"A Great Strengthener", wrote the Hon. Sir F. A. Robertson, Judge of the Chief Court, Lahore, about Sanatogen.

Remember that these letters and thousands similar-were written by people who, before the use of Sanatogen, were just as sceptical as you may be of its tonic effects. But they decided to. try Sanatogen and they got back their health and vigour.

"Sanatogen —as a well-known London physician puts it goes straight to the core of well-being. pamely, the cells and builds these up into a permanent

health." and solid fabric Sanatogen will build up your Health lastingly, Over 25,000 physicians support this claim with their written commendation.
