"How Healthy and Strong
Sis-Gilbert Parker, Bt. the distinguished novelist and statesman, writes:
"I have used Sanatogen neith extraordinary

he looks!"
"A few weeks ago he looked quite li -his nerves were all to pieces, and he was fatigued by the slightest exertion." "Yes, but he has been taking Sanatogen since then, and it certainly seems to have worked wonders. His glowing cheeks, bright eyes and buoyant step simply radiate health."
There is no guesswork about Sanat ogen's action. It really does all that, it claims to do. A distinguished physician recently proved by actual tests on men and women that Sanatogen increased their vitality by an average. - of 23% (See Medical Echo, Jan. 1926). Sanatogen infuses into the blood and nerve cells the vital elements – phos phorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve energy are derived. It provides, in a naturi" manner, just that extra energy that makes life go with a swing.

When you feel nervous or run-down, take Sanatogén

A certain section of the Avenue Joffie is now almost universally referred to as the "Russian Conces sin."

The Absorption Point, Old 'recollections of Shanghai. so frequently stirred up in the pro cesses of the city's. extraordinary growth in the past decade, never fail to include the Russian émigré problem. Perhaps no place in the world was called upon to solve the human equation created by the up- rooted nationals of the Russian Re- volution more than was Shanghai.
Such large numbers of "exiled aliens, with many of their number entirely destitute. had to be absorb cil into the life of a comparatively small community that the name of "White Russian" became synony mous with the arousing of charit, able instincts of other foreigners, more fortunate. To-day the Russian community, though it still has its problems of destitute nationals, is beginning to get on its feet.
The shops in Avenue Joffre are but one of the many instances of the truth of this statement. Before elaborating, however, it should be pointed out that these whose daily task it is to meet dozens of Russians
