While the body's own wonderful remedial power would undoubtedly rectify, this condition if the cymwe were known, tow people are able to discover this cause, ar to give the necessary care and attention bo eliminate it. The result is that they get worse instead of hotter.
Happily, for such people there is a par fectly simple, healthy and keting means of overcoming and banishing these nervous symptoms which may take on an infinito variety of forms. This is Sanatogan, the grant revitalising topic food which has received the written endorsement of over twelve thousand doctors, including ben physicians to crowned beads of Europe. Sanatogen contains organic phosphorus in aznetly that form in which it exists in the brain and nervous system. The result is that the phosphorus which is always del- civut in these nervous conditions in in- mediately absorbed and assimilated by the nervous system which, at once, begins to net in a perfectly normal manner.

ANTIQUATED WÄRAHIPS, The unfortunate contretemps that has arisen concerning the British naval squadron at the Cape of Good Hope serves to call attenti n-and not by any means for the first time to the inadequacy of the representation of the Wife Ensign to distant seas. It will be remembered that when the trouble at Delagoa Bay made it necessary for a British warship to be in readiness to leave at a moment's notice for the scene of the disturbance it was dis. covered that the Hermes, fegabip of the squadron, was in dockyard hands and asrailable; that the Pandora was in lika condition; and that the Forte, urgently in nood of overhauling, might have been able to undertake the voyage, but was in auch a state that a spred even of twelve kripta |(13.6 knota is her designad speed with faced draught) would have rendoret her
