CRUSADE AGAINST

WISH WORDS BY A PHYSICIAN.
THE HONGKONG DAILY FRIES, SATURDAY, APRIL 9TH, 1910.
Among the perilous discoses Incidental to life in the tropics dysentery takes an important place. The reasons for this are many and varied. It is, however, unnecessary to enumerate them here. The great fast which every resident in these countries, and therefore every possible enfferer, has to keep prominently in mind is how to avoid his dread complaint in the first place; and, in the ert, how to take steps to cure it should he be unfortunate enough to contract it.¡ Speaking broadly, no tropical disease is more pestilential then dysentery, for it undermine the health, depresses the nervous system, reduces the toue and vigour of the whole body, diminishes the mental energy, and, generally, interfore with the individual's physical power of resistance against disease. The rosa't is that, anlike what happens in most other diseases, one attack doce not act as a preventive, but rather predisposes to another, thus rendering the weakoned system liable to still further in. ronde, until the condition of the sufferer ia, deplorable indood, for he may be attasked by many after-effoots, liko abscess of the liver, dropsy, scurvy, and nervous affections
of various sorts.

steadily worse,
Happily, science has discovered a food-tonio which, as one physician has written, "possesse virtues of a very high order," and is practically a specific in the modern treatment of dysentery. This is Sanatogen. Its composition is well knows, for it has been widely stated to consist of 95 par cent. of pure casein of milk, the sab staues to which that food owes it nutritive valac, in chemical combination-not merely mixed-with 5 por cens, of Glycero-Phosphate of Sodium, the chief vital consistent of the combination in which they exist in Sanatogen, are so digestible that the proparation puts no strain on the most enfeebled digestive organs. All of it is absorbed or assimilated by the body, so that there is no residue to irritate the ulcers which are formed in the course of the disea and prohibit the giving of solid food.
Sanatogon is, therefore, universally prescribed even in the contest stages of the severest cases, SAFER AND CHEAPER for it prevents deterioration in nutrition, and maintains the patient's power of resistance at a high level, thereby giving him a botter chancs of recovering quickly and without complications, More than that, cases which get worse under ordinary conditions rapidly naprors when Santogon is added to the diet. One of the supremest valges of Senatogen is that it is not limited to restoring the health during or after Gysentery. It is actually a preventive of the disease by strengthening the system so that it can withstand exposure to the infection.
Sanatogen can be obtained from all chemists, To meet the special needs of the dwellers in the tropics a booklet, "How to keep woll in Tropica!
