A thousand times this number of Physicians endorse
SANATOGEN
The Royal Tonic-Food.
Over twelve thousand practising physicians have recorded in writing their high opinion of Sanatogen. and many thousands more are daily prescribing it with the most beneficial results in cases of nervous debility, brain fag. lack of vitality, sleeplessness, disordered digestion, poverty of blood, and various wasting diseases,
Can you ask for more convincing testiraony of Sanatogen's value thau the fact that it is thus publicly endorsed and recommended by practically the whole medical profession ?
When you are constantly weary in mind and body; when your brain is overworked; when your nerves are jaded that is when you need Sanatogen to re- build and revitalise you.
"Among the original letters in praise of Sanatog J ̋ which are filed for public Inspection, there are many from world-famous physicians, whose names stand for the highest scientific achievements. Their advice, and the example of distinguished men like those inentioned here, it is safe for you to follow.
"A Great Invigorator of Life,"
Never are Sandtogen's effects more wonderfully shown than in cases of convalescence after Malaria, Dysentery, Enteric Fever and other exhausting tropical diseases. A striking cane in point is that of Mr. Thomas Lynn, cjo Presidency Postmaster, G.P.O., Calcutta, who writes: "I had been a martyr to Malaria for four years, becoming weaker and weaker, with the naturally run-down condition and brain fag, nervousness and Dyspepsia. Sanatogen was strongly recom- mended by a friend, and I am delighted to say that only two bottles have made an extraordinary difference for the better-any, for the best. I shall always highly recommend Sanstogen everywhere I go."
Sanatogen will Give You New Life.
If you are a sniftrar from por notven, low vitality or a weak digestion, it is simply a daty you ors to yourself and your family to begin the use of Sanstogen. Write for a copy of a most interesting booktot "The Art of Living," by Dr. Audrow Wilson, which will be sont, free, to all mentioning this paper on application to Messra.

Robertson, Judge of the Supreme Court, Lahore, Punjab,! wrlies" My experience with Sapatogen has been very favourable. I took it for some mouths during the most trying season of the year, and found it a great strengthener.".
Sir Charles A. Cameron,
G.B., M.D., ctc., writes :--"Sanalogen is a substance of the highest nutritive value, contain- ing as it does a large anonut of organic phos. phorus, in exactly the form in which it can be easily absorbed. It is an excellent erre food."
Mr. Shirley Treméarne, Editor of "Capital," 98, Clive Street, Calcutta writes!" I cannot speak too highly of Sanatogen, it not only kept me up during a sharp attack of fever, but afterwards re- stored me once more to full vigour. In fact, I was better and stronger after this course of Sarat- ogen than before the attack."
"Ta Medien Timės " BAYS: There is no doubt whatever that the nutrilion of patients tak ing Sanatogen improves wonderfully, due, in all probability, to its being easy of assimilation and to the organic absorbable phosphors which it con
tains."
Siz Gülbert Parker, M.P.,
the popular Novelist, writes: --" 30, Carlton House Terrace, S.W.-I have used Sanatogen with extraordinary benefit. It is to my mind a true food tonie, feeding the nerves, Increasing the energy, and giving fresh vigour to the over-worked body and mind."'

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
A NEW VENTILATION THEORY. Just how ozone acte as an antidote to the effects of had ventilation seems to be not generally understood. Two English investigators, Leonard Hill and Martin Flack, point out that the air of a factory. may contain as high as 4 per cent, of carbon dioxide without being harmful to breathe, and that a deficiency of oxygen does not become important until the pro- portion falls to 14 or 18 per cent. This ngrees with the fact that the fungs normally contain about 6 per cent. af carbon dioxide, making it impossible that any effect man result from the few parts per 1,000 usually considered excessive in the outside air. The supposed liberation of organic poisons is another explanation uf ill-effects from bad ventilation, but this is probably imaginary, as animale live, without other air than that already breathed by other animale, and contain- ing 3 per cent of carbon dioxido, Death from suffucation might result if the carbon dioxide should rise to 10 or
per cent. It is suggested that the dis- confort from lack of ventilation may be cine to stagnation of the air, resulting in lassitude from diminished skin evapora tion, and to nausea caused by the odoar from an imperfectly washed mass of people. Correntius of the odour is per- haps the chief voles of the ozone,

A CLIMATIC CYCLE..
A very material change in the climate of northern Europe since the Middle Ages has been demonstrated to the Royal Meteorological Society of London by Prof. Otto Petterssen. Seasons of great extremes reached a culminating point in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the summer alternated between great Leat and drouth and great cold and excessive rain, and when violent winter storms en- tirely remoulded the coasts of the North Sea, the frosts being sometimes so severe that even the arm of the sea between
Denmark and Scandinavia was frozen, Varying oceanic circulation, due to sun and moon, is suggested as a possible explanation. Four years of investiga- tion at Bornoe, Sweden, has shown that the inflow of the undercurrent from the North Sea into the Kattegat--which brings herring shoals in winter to the Swedish coast-is oscillatory, the bound- ng surface of the deep current rising and guiding from 50 to 80 feet twice a month. This flow is governed by the moon's declination and nearness to the earth Astronomical data prove that the influence of sun and moon on the waters of northern Europe near the time of the solstice must have reached a maximuin 000 or 700 years ago, and consequently of Berku University, there must have been a more active writes I have used circulation.

DISSECTED PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH. Less crude than it appears at first sight is claimed to be the Mortier system of transmitting pictures by ordinary tele- graph line without special electrical apparatus. The picture is divided into tiny sections, and the brightness of each is telegraphed according to a prearranged code. To give anfficiently accurate esti- mation of the brightness, the original is photographed through a special screen of ten transparent sheets, marked out into equal squares filled in with different patterns of lines and dots. The repro duction appears divided into "fielde," or "cells," each having the lines and points indicating its degree of bright- ness, and by means of a special chserving frame these varying degrees ure read off in definite order. For an average small picture of about 3,900 small sections, the data can be transmitted by 850 pairs of figures combined, for cheapness, as 440 words. On receipt of the code message, the picture is set up with serotype, which have varying lines and dots giving the shades required; and with six degrees of brightness, very satisfactory results have been obtained. The time necessary, from the original photograph to the Buished picture at a distance, is two to three hours.

circle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness and Indigestion, and one or the other will from time to time exhibit the well-known symptoms of Constipation. From these little troubles more serious complaints arise, and should therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad breath, and a discoloured tongue are the index to a disordered stomach; and the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent. By following such a course the more expensive method of calling in a' doctor will be found quite unnecessary. That Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are the very best Family Medicine is vouched for by thousands of grateful men and women who speak from personal experience.
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are not simply a purgative medicine which forces the food out of the body, depriving the stomach of its nourishment and thus starving the system. They contain the essential properties that are temporarily lacking in the stonfach through weakness, and complete the digestion and assimilation, and so restore the functions of the digestive organs by obtaining the maximum of nutriment from the food which sustains the body and assures good health.
DR. Monac's IxDIAN ROOT PILLs are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reacle of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They ic packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden er pasteboard boxes--and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines do."

POLES FRESERVED BY SALTING.
Soaking telegraph poles in brine for three or four months, in which time the wood absorbs 70 to 100 per cent of its weight of salt solution, is a Russian method of greatly increasing durability. It is said to have been discovered accidentally many years ago from the effects of a few pounds of salt buried iz the ground near a telegraph pole.
