A Second Life
"If I only had another chance !"
How often does a man utter these despairing words when he feels his health undermined, his strength ebbing, bis vital forces depressed-often as the result of his own errors or folkes —and be realises the infinite possibilities which might lie in his grasp could be indeed receive, in Shakespeare's phrase, "A Second Life."
Happily, this other chance, this second life, is to be bad for the asking by means of that
Tonic Food for the Brain and Nerves
which has been aptly described by a famous physician as "the last word science has spoken" on the subject of such remedial agents, and to which, by virtue of its health-giving properties, the name of Sanatogon-meaning "Health Producer"-has been given.
So potent is its force that it will not only restore the health and vitality which have been lost, but, if persevered in, will, in addition, impart the highest measure of nervous and physical vigour of which the individual is capable; for there is a maximum capacity of health for everyone, although he may not hitherto have had the fact impressed upon him."
Doctors endorse this and daily prescribe Sanatogen in in- creasing quantities.
The constituents which give Sanatogen its power are known to every physician. What they are is described below in the plainest terms in the telling analysis of Sir Charles A. Cameron, the Chief Medical Officer of Health and Public Analys for Dublin.
Medical Opinion
DR. C W. SALEEBY, the well-known
medical author
"13, Greville Place, London, N.W. "Sanatogen is a specially adapted food that has solved the problem of giving phosphorus in such a way that the nervous system can take hold of it. I would specially refer to its value in the feeding of invalids, whether during actual illness or dartig con- valescence. and for its
ing mothers."
Medical testimony of its value can be read in the state- ment of Dr. C. W. Saleeby, the well-known medical author, Over twenty-five thousand doctors prescribe Sanatogen in their daily practice, while some twelve thousand physicians have testified to its merits as
A Revitalising Force.

In Malaria, Dysculery, Low Fever, and other wasting diseases incidental to life in the Tropics it acts" like a miracle, “ to quote the words of a physician who has used it largely. It reconstitutes the blood, rebuilds the body, reinvigorates the health; reinforces the strength, restores the vitality, revivifies the waning powers, and revitalises the nervous system, until the patient is as well as he was before his illness, while it safe- goards him from further attacks,
The typical letters of Sir Gilbert Parker, M.P., and Miss
· Ellaline Terriss are selected from hundreds of communications of famous men and wemch who have of their own free will written of the debt they owe Sanatogen.
Anyone desiring to learn more about Sanatogen and the conditions for which it is peculiarly appropriate is invited to write for an instructive book, "How to Keep Well in Tropical Cliniktes," which will be sent free to those mentioning this paper, on application to Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co., Hong- kong and Shanghai.
Sanatogen, which, by the way, is used in the Royal Family, can be obtained at all chemists and bazaars, or from Messrs A. S. Watson & Coi, Hongkong and Shanghai.
