LOSS OF WEIGHTIN MALARÍA:
One o
HOW DOCTORS ARE WORKING TO RESTORE IT.
The loss of body weight is one of the most noticeable of the direct consequences of Malaria. Obviously, therefore, it is e of those most distressing to the patient as well as to his friends, for it interferes in a marked manner with his appearance, From every point of view it is of the greatest importance that the weight which has been lost should be restored with the utmost rapidity. This is, necessarily, under ordinary conditions, a difficult thing to do, for the causes which have re- duced the patient's digestive strength have likewise reduced his digestive powers, and weight can be acquired only through the digestive system.
This diagram shows the extra ordinary way in which Sanatogen enables those who have lost weight to recover it.
The smaller figure represents the Average increase in weight made by eight
patients who were fed at a the most restorative and

A foods known to
The larger Agure represents the average increase in weight of the patients treated with the same food to which Sanatogen had been added. It will be noticed that their weight increased about five times a much in the gAJLO time.
Happily, as overy doctor knows, when the acute stage of the fever is over, a ready means of restoring this weight is at his hand by the use of Sanatogen. · It does not matter whether the sufferer is an adult or a child, the effect of Sanatogen in such conditions is invariably so rapid that it seems to act like a charm. This is due to its composition-the body-building part of pure cow's milk chemically combined with that salt of phosphorus which is found in the brain and nervous system:: The use of Sanatogen tones and revitalises ovory organ of the body and, as it were, makes the feeble, dickoring flame of life. burn vigorously and strongly, so that the feeling of weakness which la so marked a characteristic of the sufferer from malaria rapidly vanishes. Sanatogen's power of increasing weight is strikingly shown in a case quoted by The General Practitioner: A wojnan ft. 7 in. height had dwindled to 7 st. 11 lbs. She was ordered two teaspoonfuls of Banat- thrice daily. At the end of a woek ogen sho had gained 1 h, 3 ozs.,, and at the end of three weeks she had increased 7 lbs. in weight.!!

your health is very far from satisfactory. The slightest knowledge of pathological science is sufficient to inform us how precarious is the con- dition of the person who is "onlymiddling." The power of disease-resistance is practically nil, & an ordinary atmospheric change or dietetic irregularity may lay you up for weeks.

DISASTROUS TIME AT LLOYD'S.
HEAVIEST FOUR MONTHS EVER KNOWN.
The losses of Lloyd's and the marine insurance companies this year, says the Pall Mall Gazette, are already the heaviest that have been known since the business of covering ships against loss or damage began in n Tower-street coffee- house nearly two centuries and a half And, as several vessels are hope- ago. lessly overdue, it is feared that the liabilities of underwriters for the past montba will be still further four increased. It is indeed, estimated that at present they cannot be far short of £8,000,000,
During the first quarter of the year no fewer than se vessels, with a gross register of 300 tona and upwards, were totally lost, while in the same period the total and partial losses were 1,018, collisione being responsible for 577, strandings for 518, and weather damage for 489.
The total estimated loss occasioned by the more important casualties was :-

∙March,
£642,300
457,000
088,500
exeluding, however, the sinking of the P. & Oliner Oceana, whose hull was uninsured, except in the company's, accounts, though specie to the value of £400,000 and cargo insured for £100,000 have yet to be recovered. The bullion may be ultimately brought to land, but the salvage of the latter is impossible.

This month (April) there have been several exceptionally serious casualties, but, naturally, everything of the kind has been eclipsed by the sinking of the White Star liner Titanic, while on her maiden voyage from Bouthampton to New York The sacrifice of life involved in this course, deplorable calamity has, of eclipsed its financial side, but, neverthe less, the pecuniary loss has affected many interests.

Captain Habel, having arrived, Consignees of Cargo are hereby informed that their goods are
incurred. The bull of the ill-fated ship NAPIER JOHNSTONES' being Tarded and placed at their visit in the
was insured for £733,000, or about half the cost, but there is only too good reason to believe that the general cargo and passengers' effects represent a value of £1,000,000. Nothing can be known, how- ever, until all the declarations are made, and, in this connection, a good deal depends upon what may have been saved by those who were fortuus enough to get on board the Carpathia. For instance. three pearl necklaces were covered to the extent of £140,000, and although the owner cscaped the fate of the majority it is not yet certain that she wore the jewellery at the time.
A direct result of the disaster has been. a general stiffening of premiums, parti- cularly on vessels of the liner class, butį in many cases the increase will not take effect until current contracts expire. To the credit of underwriters it has, how- ever, to be said that, notwithstanding the recent heavy calls upon their resources are boing all the ascertainable claims promptly paid.
SHANGHAI ELECTRIC · CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
The report of the Shanghai Electric Construction Company for the year to December 31st states that the accounts show a profit of £14,139, as compared with £7,594 for 1910, and the total standing to the credit of profit and loss at the end of the year, including the balance brought forward, was £90,774. The sum of £7,473. has been written off general expenditure during construction, £10,000 has been transferred to reserve for renewals, and £3,301 carried forward. Substantial pro- |gress has again been made in the number of passengers carried, the traffic receipts per car ratio, the gross earnings, and the improve- net operating receipts ment has been obtained by continuing the by policy of popularizing the trams means of more attractive short-distance fares. The percentage of loss by ex- change on subsidiary coinage was on the average somewhat lower in 1911 than in 1910, but has recently shown a tendency to

It is added that the 30 trailers referred to in the last report were in use for considerable portion of the year with satis. factory results. The capital expenditure for the year, amounting to £11,627, which was mainly in respect of the additional rolling stock and the wayside car-shed re quired for its accommodation, has been mot out of revenue.
