THE MALARIA PARASITE
DEFIED.
ABRIGHTOUTLOOK FOR SUFFERERS.
The interest in Malaris to every dweller in China is necessarily overwhelming, for its con stitutional effects are so far-reaching and it dovitalising power is so great that it is con- stantly spoken of as "The Scourge of the Tropios."
As is generally known, Malaria is due to parasites which feed on the active substance- the hemoglobin-of the red blood corpuscles, The pation! thus suffers from Anemia, and as the microbes multiply and the blood is further destroyed the condition degenerates into what is known as Cachexia, au impairment of the which involves the geural tissue vitality nervous, muscular, mental, circulatory, respira tory, digestive and other systems. The Malaria patient complatus of many depressing symptoms including loss of mormory, impairment of the vision, depression of the spirits, insomnis digestive disorders, lassitude, wasting and ever increasing weakness-all of which make life a Burden.
Happily, through the discovery of a propar tion which is as powerful in evercoming these terrible after effects as quinine is in curing the ourly rigor of Mularia, the discuss has lost its torrors.
This preparation is Sanatogen, tha most powerful revitalising and restorative agant the world has known, which has produced effects described by doctors as little short of marvellous iu saving life and restoring moribund patious to perfect health. **

The dream of electric power from the air is baseless. A Germosa calculation bas shown that the atmospheric tension of many thousand volls would yield one horse-power over 2,830, square miles, 50 over the German Empire, or 50,000 over the entire globe.
