HEAT PROSTRATION.
ITS TREATMENT AND CURE,
Exposure to heat may cause faintness or exhaustion, or may produce still more serious effects on the brain and nervous avstem, including excitement, unconscious- nese, and, if very savers, death from asphyxia
In the event of an attack, the sufferer should be removed to the shade, his tight clothing, loosened and cold water applied to the bead. As soon as possible, he should be taken home, and if the face be flushed and the skin hot, cold water and ice, if it can be obtained, should be applied over the head and body and medical aid should be sought. These instructions are based on the writing, of that great authority on the preservation of life in India, Sir Joseph Farrer, but they are, of course, the merest outline of what should be done. Still, their prompt carrying out may save life, and they should, therefore, be kept prominently in mind by everyone to be made use of when
necessary.
After the immediate results of the exposure have been counteracted, the question of diet, on which the mainten- ance of the sufferer's life and health depends, is the one which demands on sideration. It is obvious that when weakened, as all the natural forces are, the stomach and digestive organs general- ly are in no condition to deal with the ordinary articles of diet, many of which impose a tax on the digestion. The food should, therefore, be of the blandest and

The Chairman addressed the meating. In the course of his remarks ho said reference to the balance sheet will show that the aggregate of the figures under the various headings has now reached the satisfactory sam of 25 millions sterling, the highest figuro yet recorded in the history of the bank, and an increase of two millions sterling over the figures shown in our last report. That is sufficient evidence, I think, that the busi- neas of the bank is steadily progressing. Naturally, with increased trade we have of profit grow finer and finer, and it is increased competition, and the margins AGENTS FOR not possible without an increased turn over, without tapping fresh sources of the standard of our earnings in previous business, that we can hope to maintain years. I am glad to say that we have up to the present been able to do so, and seeing that trade is in a very healthy condition, and that prospects are good, not only in the East, I think that with peace assured, industrial and political, ward with confidence to the future..

THE QUICKEST RESTORATIVE.
CHINA,
The national uprising in China against the Manchu dynasty, far wider and more! extended than we at first realised, caused a general paralysis of trade, especially in the North of China. Producers were unable to send their goods into the market centres, while importers would not take the risk of sending their goods up country into the provinces, where there were dis | turbances on all sides. The consequence
It needs no great knowledge of dietetica to appreciate the fact that relatively few articles combine these two necessary and important qualities. One, however, does fuffit these two requirements in a supreme- ly advantageous manner. This is Santo gen.

They had to submit vitalising and reinvigorating foods known to a compulsory policy of sitting still to Science. Its use is, in many cases, and awaiting events. Now that the new followed by such a sensation of well-being form of Government in China, seems to that a well-known writer has described it te practically assured, and there is an in the words, "Almost immediately after element of safety in the transaction of Laking it, I feel as though a stream of hainess again, we can expect a slow but liquid life has been poured into me.

Of course, at the moment the position is not quite as bright foreign loans is assured, as it might be, and until the matter of expect the new Government to do much in the way of pacifying the districts, but that, we have every reason to believe, will.
Even those people who do not react 20 rapidly to its benefits very soon experi- ence a sensation of strength and revitaliza tion which are particularly gratifying after the feeling of utter prostration and lack of tone which are so characteristic of the results of heat. In this connection, the following letter from Mr. Thomas Lynn, Calcutta, will be read with par ticular interest, for it shows how Sanat- ogen enables even those who have to fight against the effects of heat when their bodily forces are weakened by disease-to derive immediate health and strength from the preparation.

NEW AGENCIES.
During the past twelve months agencies of the Bank have been opened at Canton, Fuket, Malacca, and oiló, while in: January last, consequent on the transfer of the capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi, the directors deemed it advisable to open a branch in Delhi. New agencies are saldom remunerative to begin with, and the initial costs are heavy, but we confidently expect that these agencies will in time prove a source of profit to the Bank. As regards the recommendations made by the directors in their report, I oaly wish to refer to one figure, and that is the bonus of 10 per cent. which the directors recommend for the staff. We do our best to pay them fair and liberal salaries, and we recommend this bonus because we think the staff thoroughly deserve it (Hear, hear.) It is all very well passing a cordial vote of thanks to the staff, but by the time that vote has, travelled from 6,000 to 8,000 miles the freshness and the bloom has withered up,
