"And now I am a NEW MAN again-thanks to SANATOGEN"

How many times have these words been spoken by grateful men all over the world! Grateful because Sanatogen has brought them a care- free feeling of exuberant health that they have not known for years. If you feel tired, listless, run-down, or if you are convalescing after illness, take a course of Sanatogen. Sanatogen repairs worn nerves. It builds new, rich blood. It gives you back the strength and vigour that work and worry drain away. Sanatogen is no mere stimulant. The good it does is as permanent as the blood in your body.
