Jar 2 contains 2 pounds 131⁄2 ounces of a casein-glycerophosphate combination made by an American casein company; it costs One Dollar. For the same money, then, one gets nearly 15 times as much of this casein-glycerophosphate combination made in America as when the casein-glycerophosphate combination is sold under the name “Sanatogen” and manufactured abroad.
Jar 3 contains one dollar’s worth of pure casein. The casein entirely fills the jar, although the weight of the material is the same as the weight of the casein-glycerophosphate combination in Jar 2. Pure casein is more bulky than the casein-glycerophosphate combination.
Again we would emphasize that the chief objection to Sanatogen is not its high price, but the fraudulent claims under which it is sold.
The following selections perhaps fairly represent the value to science of the clinical evidence offered. Describing a case of vomiting from cerebral concussion:
“I ordered an ice-bag to the head, a mustard leaf to the epigastrium, absolute recumbency in bed and small feeds of Sanatogen with water. This diet was continued for three days, but the vomiting ceased the second day.”
And here a case of “hungry tired nerves”:
“I have just had a recovery in a remarkable case which scores a victory for Sanatogen. The patient, a man 63, had been treated for some years past for heart trouble. When he came to me, however, I diagnosed his trouble as ‘hungry tired nerves.’ I put him on Sanatogen and eupeptics. In a month he was much improved.”
In a serious case of the “American disease”:
“I tried Sanatogen on a woman suffering from extreme neurasthenia and debility. For the past six weeks I have had, and still have, her under rest-cure treatment, during which time I have given her Sanatogen. I have been very much elated with the treatment.”
