FOOD
Wherever
there is a caso of enfeebled digestion, whether from advancing age, illness, or general debility, there is a case for Benger's Food.
When the stomach becomes weakened, the digestion of ordinary food becomes only partial, and at times is painful, little of the food is assimilated, and the body is consequently insufficiently nourished.
This is where Benger's Food helps. It contains in itself the natural digestive principles, and is quite different from any other food obtainable.
All doctors know and approve of its composition, and prescribe it freely. For INFANTS, INVALIDS,

CONCERNING STOWAWAYS.
We are a seafaring nation, and yet we have allowed the romance of the ses to dispper bit by bit until we find ourselves at the beginning of the twentieth sentary slmost destitute of the romantic figures that roved the salt waters in happier saller days.
True, we made short work of pirates when we onught

But the pirates and the King's men have slike gone to their last rest, and may their souls find pesor.
So much for the pirates, but what of Father Neptune? It would seem that his throne is sharing in the general shakiness of that of other monarchs, and he bids fair shortly to be deposed altogether. For my part I am not loror of practical jokes, anch as distinguish his Court, and one wonders if his waning popularity is dus to a more refined humour than that which flourished la the days when Merry England wm Merry England" Tar rush for shaving brush, tin-plate for razor, and a final ducking they were a robust company that enjoyed those

Strange to any, so deep is his interest that he fails to her the warning bells, nor does the stentorian ery, "Any more for the shore," reach his ears, When he finally appears on deck, it is to find the land ent of sight, and the ship going at full spend.
He reports himself to the optain, and enlists the sympathy of his fellow passengers by resolutely making the best of his foolish mistake, until they are moved to lead him clothes and all recessaries. During his abort stay on board he makes himself so goner ally agreeable that a subscription is easily raised on his behalf, and when he leaves the ship at the next port, it is to the tune of "For ho's a jolly good fellow." He lles in wait for the next ship travelling in his direction when he enacts the same comedy, and thus by degrees reaches his destination.
THE CURSE OF MALARIA,
HOW IT MAY BE-REMOVED,
« With the banishment of Malaria a new era will dawn in history”
Those words, which cost a lurid glow on the importance of the disease directly responsible for more invaliding and death than any other cause in China, were spoken, a short time ago, by a distinguished man. Before that can be schiored, however, untold millions of lives will have been sacrificed to the ravages of that per nicious microbe, which plays such havoo with the red blood corpuscles, destroying them, and devouring their haemoglobin, while producing poisons which rack the limbs with pain, reduce physical and mental strength to a very low level, and set up changes which may lead to the disease of many more important organs.
Malaria is, however, too well known to every to piotaro of the suffering it indu
indroos. What is necessary in the public interest is to point not clearly, simply, and directly how the dirons effects of the disease in all their varied manifestations may be overcome, how the patient may recorer his full health, strength, and vitality, and be protected against further at- tacks,

After quinine has done its work, the need is urgent for a reconstituent and revitalising pre- paration to restore the quality of the blood and conquer the general malnutrition of the body which is the inevitable result of the destruction of ita vital particles.
THE QURSE REMOVED.
Nothing, it has been proved times without namber, has so potent an influence for good as Banatogen, which is universally recognised as the greatest reconstituent preparation and most revitalising tonis food science has yet discovered.
Composed of glycero-phoshate of sodium, the aotive principle of the nervous systems, chemical- ly combined with cassin, the albuminous or body-building element of pure milk, Boastogen is the most easily digested of all tonie-food mub. stances. It is rapidly assimilated by the bedy, and immediately begins to nourish the muscles as well as the nervous system, which finds in the proparation the supply of its vital phosphorus in exactly the form in which it can be most easily made use of. In addition, It increases the number and quality of the red sorpuseles to an amazing extent, It frequently increases them by half a million per cubic centimetre in a fort- night, putting up the hemoglobin at the rate of two per cent. per week.
The result is that the sufferer's wanted body fills out, his drawn, lined face gets young again, his dim eyes grow bright and his prematurely grey hair resume its normal tint, so that he becomes as well as he ever was before.
Children are likewise profoundly affected by Malaria, which retards their growth in a most marked manner. When, however, they take Banatogen, they rapidly regain their lost weight, recover their health, and start growing again. Sanatogen's power in overcoming the disabilities produced by Malaria have been attested by a large number of doctors throughout the tropics, as well as by hundreds of layman.
MEDICAL AND LAY EVIDENCE. Among medical men, Dr. H. H. W. Hart, Hapur Remenat Depot, Babugarh, United Provinces, writes: "I have much plea sure in certifying to the value of Sanatogen in cass of Malaria, Enteric Feyer, Dysentery and other exhausting diseases. I have teed it regularly now in my practice for the past twe years, and in no single insta soe have I been disappointed with the results. I can honestly affirm that many
