Booklet advertising the British doctor's miracle cure, Santogen, which he described in newspaper ads of the period as "a highly concentrated and very nutritious food endowed with special tonic properties" which contained "over 700 percent more tissue-building, life-sustaining nourishment than wheat flour." At the bottom of each page are testimonials from Senators, MPS, and the doctors of various kings. A 1912 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (reproduced in Nostrums and Quackery Vol. 1) notes that the active ingredient in Santogen is casein, known in its most common form as cottage cheese.
