Sanatogen Defeats Fatigue!

Sanatogen renews the blood and strengthens the nerves. The physician, who conducted the experi ments referred to above, writes:

Here then is indisputable proof that Sanatogen is mighty nerve food and energiser. Taken regularly, night and morning, it will enable you to do your day's work: practically without, fatigue, and to come to your hours of recreation full of the joyous energy of healthy life. Sanatogen supplies body and nerves with just those elements-albumin and organic phosphorus --- which are necessary to build up tadiant health and vita

The recipient in Hong Kong was very pleased to get the tele- gram as the delay to the letter might have caused serious incon- venience. It is interesting to re- call that the Hong Kong Post Office never ceased functioning during the 1925 crisis as volun- teers, the clerical staff and men from other departments ably car- ried on after some of the postmen had walked out. True, people had to call for mais in person but there was hardly any delay at al.

Everybody in England is aware that Chamberlain and Churchill would never have been so reasonable over China if they had not had some trick up their sleeves, according to "Truth." whose theory that it takes the murder of missionaries to stir the United States may have sounded somewhat grim, but Hankow suggests that Chinese Bolshevism is to be allowed its head until something happens. Few Americans are thinking just now of the Yellow Peril. They can afford to lose the trade with China and go on more prosperous than ever.
