THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH THURSDAY DECEMBER 21, 1911

"And you must

take Sanatogen regularly for several weeks"

This urgent advice is given by physicians every day, in every civilised country, to sufferers from Nervous Debility, Brain-fag. "Lack of Vitality, Sleeplessness, Disordered Digestion, Poverty of Blood and various Wasting Diseases.

Physiciaus know that Sanatogen is a true scientific compound of organic phosphorus and pure concen trated proteid, forming a new substante which I eagerly and completely absorbed by the tissue possesses unique tonic and reconstructive qualities.'

The Supreme Restorative...

Physicians can speak from experience of the great recuperative effects which Sanatogen has upon the brain, nerves, blood and muscles, They have watched its revivifying action upon people whose nervous strength has been depleted by over-work, worry or disease. They have noted how: Sanatogen gives lasting benefit, how it regenerates the appetite and digestion, brings back the bloom to the cheek, replaces wakeful nights by sound refreshing sleep- in short, enables the lînnau machinery to perform. Its functions so perfectly that the patient loses his depression of spirits, gains' confidence and courage, and finds file again worth living. .

Fighting Malaria and Dysentery.

Apart from its value as a general tonic, Sanato gen is of the greatest service to the physician in fighting Malaria, Dysentery and other scourges of tropical climates.

On this subject, Dr. H. H. W. H., of Babo- garah, United Provinces, writes:-"I have much pleasure in certifying to the value of Sunatogen in cases of Dysentery, Entarice Fever and other exhausting diseasca. I have usadit regularly in my practice for the past two years, and in no single instance have I been disappointed with its results. I can honestly affirm that many of my worst casca own their recovery to Sanatogen."

Try Sanatogen To-day,

At the head offices of the manufacturers of Sanatogen there are filed more Uan fourteen thousand letters from practising physicians who certify to the value of Sauatogen. Truly a magnificent monument to the value of this unique tonic-food! But no less lupressive Is the enthusiastle testimony of patients themselves. Thousands of well-known people in every walk of life have publicly testified to the wonderful benefits they have received from Spatogen, and a few of their letters are reproduced here.
