THE RESTORATION OF LOST HEALTH.
SCIENCE'S SUPREMEST PORCH EXPLAINED,
"I'd give anything if I could feel really well again!"
Only a day or two ago a well-known mun uttered these words at his club to the writer. A little while after, one of the most charming and beauiful women of the writer's acquain- made a similar rensark. Their faces tance bore the Jadication of ill-health; their manner betrayed the lassitude which comes from constantly feeling poorly, and there was that general nir of dujection and depression about them which showed that they had begun to take a pessimistic outlook of their condition. People like these, who have felt ill for long time, whose convalescence has been slow, who take a dispirited view of their condition, can all recover their old sense of buoyancy, their aid feeling of vigorous health and energising vitality, if they will give heed to one of the strongest lessons being taught in the world of science to-day. This is to use Sanatogen, which every doctor now recognises as the greatest revitaliser of the body in general and of the brain and nerves in particular, while its power of improving the blood is extraordinarily great, so that it has a high degree of utility in a wide circle of symptoms.

REVIEW,
THE HONGKONG DAILY PERSS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11T, 1912,
Modern Paris: Some Sidelights on its Inner Life. By ROBERT HARBOROUGH SHERARD. Illustrated.. London: T Werner Laurie." The only part of this volume to which we take exception is its title. There is, of course, a good deal in it about Paris and Parisians, from the highest to the lowest, a fact that shows how Mr. Sherard's fortines have fluctuated and how varied are the places into which the writer for the Press must go; but there is, or so it seems to us, to be far more about other habitations and other per- sonnges than Paris and Parisians. This, however, is not an objection to the book itself. It has not a dull pages it, it is a smoothly flowing river of reminiscence with Historical all the glamour of figures, and especially Biterary, and political personages, familiar to most of us be-name, are constantly passing across the stage (to vary the metaphor), and of most of them Mr.. Sherard has some apt story to tell, some. thing fresh, often something piquant, Whe ther the scene is placed in Paris or elsewhere, it is only fair to the author to say that be carries the atmosphere of Paris with him, and he writes with that soupçon of pungent cynicism so characteristic of the modern
romance,
It must not, however, be supposed that cure-all," Sanatogen is anything like a It is not. It is, however, worth drawing attention to the fact that the body is not divided into a number of separate compart-boulevardier. It is only to be expected that ments, as it were, cach of which has little 56 many or no relation to the others, people seem to imagine. On the contrary, every system of the body depends in some way on every other system for its healthy activity. It is because Sanatogen acks directly on the nerves and the blood, and increases, the body's nutrition, that has so wide an application in the cure of various disorders and diseases,
Among the conditions of ill-health from which Sanatogen may be confidently expect. ed to restore il sufferer, are those affecting the nerves, like nervous debility and break down; brain lag, with loss of memory and sleeplessness; nervous exhaustion; dyspop- anemia, with its attendant sis, and symptoms of languor; shortness of breath; palpitation, etc., and all conditions in which there is..rasting or loss of weight.
Moreover, in all those varied conditions in which a tonic is indicated, Sanatogen has always been confidently recommended by doctors all over the world, for they know that it never fails to restore the sensation of health, strength and well-being to its highest possibilities.

In this connection The Medical Times states:-"There is no doubt whatever that the nutrition of patients taking Sanategen improves wonderfully." The General Practi- tioner states It is, probably, in cases of weakening or exhaustion of the nervous systemh, accompanied by various forms of mental and bodily inefficiency that Sanatogeni proves most useful. Rest, an out-door life and Sanatogen will often effect a eure."
Sanaogen can be obtained at all chemists.

one who counted Alphonse Daudet, Francois Coppée, Maximé Pailleron, Edmond About, Madame Gautier, Aurélien Scholl, Emile Zola, and other literary men and women amongst his friends and acquaintances is able to give us glimpses of them which we are unable to get through intimacy with their writings, and he is always able to brighten in allusion to geniuses of a byegone age with some pithy anecdote, which never appears to be out of place. Mr. Sherard takes up the cudgels for Paris when it comes to discussing Its morality in comparison with London, Berlin, and other big cities. Writing of the brave struggle that is being made by thou sands of poorly paid women in Paris to live respectable lives, he says:-
"And this makes me say that it is greatly to the credit of Frenchwomen that in general their lives are chaste and virtuous. I think it indisputable that the average of morality amongst women is higher in France than, perhaps, in any other mustry in the world, except freland, and nothing more 'changers. the friends of France than the extraordinary notion prevailing abroad that Paris is a city. of debauch. It is, taking it all round, a much more decent city than Brussels, or Berlin, or London, to say nothing of St. Petersburg, Buda-Festh, New York, Warsaw or Stock- hol. If the French were hypocritical and bid their vices, or attached more significance to the bagatelles of existence, Paris would rank as the metropolls of dull decorum." Of the Latin Quarter, the thieves' resorts,
the de, Profundis of Paris, Mr. Sherard has obviously a complete acquaintance, as well as of the salens of the rich; but there are no more charming parts of his book than those which give us insight to the domestic life of the poorer classes somewhere in the provinces of la belle France. In a few pen- pictures, sharply drawn, he compares the Bretivas and the Normans, and brings out the salient characteristics of these peoples quite as happily as the best of the French Writers.
Few books of reminiscence have been read by us with greater pleasure than Mr. Sherard's "Modern Paris." It is far more interesting than the average novel, and should be welcoined by those of our readers who have to take their view of Paris from this side of the hemisphere.

A Prisoner in Paradise. By HERBERT R. VABEY. London: Stanley Paul and Co. In a large boarding establishment, at Torquay, a tow years ago, we had been talk- ing at the dinner table about Things Chinese, and had ventured the expression of opinion that the Chinese had no true religious senti- ment, when a clever Irish lady asked us abruptly, What is Religion?" As we had not been trained in any theological school, and had, perhaps, not given the subject of true religion too much thought, accepting our ritual ceremonies very much as the ESTABLISHED A.D. 1880.
