FRE AMBITIOUS AMERICAN BOHEME.
Something of a stir has been caused in ship. ping circles in America by the incorporation in Trenton, New Jersey, of the Atlantic and Paotic Transportation Company with capital- ization of $18,000,000 (£3,000,000). It has been formed with the object of bidding for the Post Office
contract for BM Independent mail service from New York to Colou, frem New Orleans to Colon, and from Seattle to Panama, the vessels using the Canal. to pass from que ocean to the other. The promoters are Mr. Barnard N, Baker, who was president of the Atlantic Transport Company until its absorption be the Interna- tional Mercantile Marine; Mr. C. G. Hein, formerly transurer of the same company; Mr. T. B. Harrison, formerly secretary of the company; and Mr. A. H. Boole, who was the Boston partner of the American Agency of the Wilson Steamship Lines of Hall. They pro pose to build 15 fast mail steamers, and a fleet of ight steamers, besides a number of constructed steam barges to navigate the shallow rivers and harbours of Central Americs. Each of those barges is to be equip- ped with a banking and clerical force with the idea of supplying tho Inok of American banking facilities in those regions....

-“And you must take Sanatogen regularly for several weeks"
This urgent advice is given by physicians every day, in every civilised country, to sufferers from Nervous Debility, Brain-fag, Lack of Vitality, Sleeplessness, Disordered Digestion, Poverty of Blood and various Wasting Diseases.
Physicians know that Sanatogen is a true scientific compound of organic phosphorus and pure concen- trated proteid, forming a new substance which is eagerly and completely absorbed by the tissues and possesses unique tonic and reconstructive qualities.
The Supreme Restorative.
Physicians can speak from experience of the great recuperative effects which Sapatogen has upon the brain, nerves, blood and muscles. They have watched its revivifying action upon people whose nervous. strength has been depleted by over-work, worry or disease. They have noted how Sauatogen gives lasting benefit, how it regenerates the appetite and digestion, brings back the bloom to the cheek, replaces wakeful nights by sound refreshing sleep- hi short, enables the human machinery to perform its functions so perfectly that the patient loses his depression of spirits, gains confidence and courage, and finds life again worth living.
Fighting Malaria and Dysentery.
Apart from its value as a general tonic, Sanato- gen is of the greatest service to the physician in lighting Malaria, Dysentery and other #courges of tropical climates.
On this subject, Dr. H. H. W. H., of Babu- garah, United Provinces, writes:-"I have much pleasure in certifying to the value of -- Sanzbogen in cases of Dysentery. Enteric Fever and other exhausting diseases. I have used it regularly in my practice for the past two years, and in no single instance have 1 been disappointed with its results. I can honestly affirm that many of my worst cases owe their recovery to Sanatogen."
Try Sanatógen To-day.
At the head offices of the manufacttirers of Sanatogen-there. are fled more than fourteen thonsand letters from practising physicians who certify to the value of Sanatogen. Truly a hagnificent monument to the value of this unique tonic-food l But no less impressive is the enthusiastic testimony of patients themselves. Thousands of well-known people in every walk of life have publicly testified to the wonderful benefits they have. received from Sanatogen, and a few of their letters are reproduced here.
Begin to take Sanatogen to-day, and thus lay the foundation of new health and nerve force. You can get Sanatogen in Hong Kong from Messrs. A S. Watson & Co.; The Sincere Co., Ltd., 215/21, Vosveux Road; and of all Chemists.
