"The user of Sanatogen is richly rewarded in - freedom from languor, a gain of strength and activity and alertness of mind”,
writes Dr. CL. L. Wheeler.
This is the opinion that medi- cal men have of Sanatogen; and when it is remembered that more than 25,000 physicians have written about the gratifying results they have obtained with Sanatogen, it becomes evident that you can trust this really exceptional tonic to help you, too,

SITUATION IN CHINA
Some Disquieting Developments
London, June 17.
The present situation in China was the subject of a brief state- ment In the House of Commons by the Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare.
He said that for various reasons the effects upon China of the world economic suppression were delayed. For some months past however her economic situation has been one of undoubted dif- ficulty and the position had been still further complicated by the recent rise in the price of silver.
His Majesty's Government had been closely and sympathetically following the developments and they have now arranged that Sir Frederick Lelthross, the Chief Economic Adviser should proceed to China at an early date in order that he may be in a position to advise them on the situation,"

As for the beautiful Chippendale, after Mr. Frank Partridge had given 760gs for the writing table at which Mr. Joel used to write notes in the window of his library, he recalled that an admiring friend had once offered a prodigious sum for it to the financier in order to buy "the Joel luck." "Make it millicas and the table is yours!" was the instant response.
The tripod wine-table (another Partridge purchase at 410g) also evoked memories.
Mr. Moss Harris was very prominent throughout the day, and was the underbidder for the Louis suite. He won, however, at 1.250g, the suite of eight Chippendale chairs and a settee, with vertical uprights, designed about 1740
