No more nerves?

Not since I started with SANATOGEN

Nervousness, fatigue, forgetfulness and many other symptoms often hamper the full enjoy- ment of life. You can become fit and healthy again with a course of Sanatogen. Senatogen contains just those elements which give new health and energy to the run-down organism in a very digestible form. It strength- ans the nerves, renews the red blood, cells and thus gives new strength and stamina to the whole system. -

Prož Tobold, a well-known European authority, wrote:

"Those who are suffering from naTUONE weakness will soon regain their former strength and joy of life"

Try Sanetogen at once. Buy it to-day and see how quickly Health and Vitality return.
