"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 meth 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, ir becomes evident that you can' trust this really exceptional tonic to help you, too."
Prol. Marin, formerly of Oxford University, exmined the reason for the wonderful inquence of Saratogen on health, in these words:
"A building-up process goes on in the nerves after the administration of Sanatogen."

It is understood that members of the Committee-including those who

" Authoritative quarters here lost no time in pointing out that the League Council is at liberty to continue its labours for a peaceful settlement by other means, but the fact that the Italian standpoint 15 diametrl- cally opposed to that of the Com- mittee of Five causes the pros- pects of the success of any further endeavours 10 appear rather doubtful. especially білсе the Council will have no choice but to rally to the Committee's stand- point.
