has, therefore, to be controlled and the only affective way of doing en is to have the supervision of the members' own mates." In a Friendly Society this is obtained because the members knew that if olaims are paid which raslly shottid not be paid then the result will be that a deficiency will be shown at the valuation becomitacing either ixiposition of lories or modification of benefits. It is therefore in the interest of the members to control the chick, La., in effect to watch over sach other."

Now, in a purely State Schome, the members having nothing directly at sinke, this vory necessary supervision would be fost. In short, to finance a paroly State System of Sickness Insurance would be beyond the limits of practient politics. In we have seen the thren years or 10 estimates given for cost of working the Workmen's Compensation Act and Old Age Pension Act, excoded by the wildest expectations, but what would hippon in a State Scheme of Sickness Insurance I sincerelytrast that no Chancellor of the Exchequer will over try to find out, so long, at least, as human auture remains what it is. The financial necessity for a contributory systems is, therefore, quite obvious.

THE MODERN METHOD OF CURING NEURASTHENIA,

LTHOUGH Neurasthenis is a term of

quite modern use, and embraces a very great number of symptoms, nervous exhaustion is a condition which has long. been known..

Among the commonest symptoms are hood sche, a sense of pressure within the heal, sometimes a feeling of cold on the top of the head, and, at others, ax an from band were pressing into the brain. Those konsations are particularly spa to occur when the sufferer sndeavours to con centrate his thoughts for a little while. Again, there is marked indigestion add losa.

All these nervous sepantions are capable and `avan of being remarkably perfectly cured, by means of Sanatogen. The medical evidence on this paint exceedingly large and overwhelmingly capelusive. In fact, no sufferar from neurasthenia, in whatever form the nervous exhaustion may manifest itself, need have the least case for despair or oven auxioty if only he will take Sanatogen and keep on with it. No more striking proof of its wonderful power can be desired than is set The Actuaries employed by the Gov. forth by Madame Sarah Grand, the dis vrument in connection with the Insurance tinguished novelist, who was incapacitated for work for four years by nervous ex- Bill were Messrs G.
