Restful Nights
mean vigorous days.
Sleeplessness is a sign of nervous debility. You need not suffer from weakened nerves if only you take care to strengthen your system with Sanatogen. Sanatogen infuses into your nerve- cells phosphorus and albumin 'which build up new strength and energy,
In an entirely natural way Sanatogen will conquer your sleeplessness and its consequences-fatigue, listlessness and depression-and you will 8000 enjoy restful sleep and all-day fitness again.
Miss Norma Lorither, the well-known authoress,
writes:
"I tried it (Somatogen), is I have tried so many other things when I have wffered from strepleiness and general debility, without rspecting it to do ne much good. Therefore I am more than pleased to have jouaf at last the ideal trosic,
Sapatogen banishes your nerve troubles, renews your blond, strengthens and builds up your system into a solid and permanent fabric of health.

Our correspondent reported on May 4 that Vong Shi-zlang, the caterer to the American Club and to the Canidrome, was returning to his home in an alley near the Central Police Station when a car containing three gunmen appeared on the scene and made off with him. A bar-boy who witnessed the affair was threatened not to divulge what he saw.

The police, however, made nine arrosta, and of these, two have admitted their guilt, saying that Vong has been hidden on a boat, which so far has not been traced.
