A THINKABLE ATPRECIATION,

It is, therefore, more accurate, in order; to estimate present time, to consider a hundredth of a second rather than a tenth.. We might certainly even go as far as the thousandth, because it is used in physical' sciences, publy ia electric experiments. But let us confine ourselves to a thinkable appreciation. A tenth of a second is easy to conceive. During the dumtion of a second one may tap ten times with the finger nails on an object, bear the taps, and perceive their succession. The tenth part of this tenth, or a hundredth may still be imagined in thought. But that is, kil The thousandth is completely indiscernible. Well, this hundredth of a second is really WILL PO

I have much pleasure in certifying to the value of Sanntogen in cases of Malaria, Enteric Fever. Dysentery, and other exhausting diseases. I have used it regularly now in my practica for the past two years, and in no single lastance have I been disap- pointed with its results. I can acnestly affirm that mnoy of my worat casos owed their recovery to Sapat- ogen. I could quote numerous cases where the admistration of Sauntogen was followed by immediate and marked amelioration of the symptoms. I can- not speak too highly of its value, and I certainly consider it the best of ar ..tificial foods."
