"How did you sleep?

36 Nathan Road,

Kowloon.

You certainly look fine!"

A physician writes

in the "General Practitioner": "The insomnia of long duration had produced great de bility; treatment of every kind had no result. Sanatogen, iwo teaspoonfuls, thrice daily, was prescribed and at the end of a fort sight the improve ment was marked & sleep was mormal,”

She: "How did I sleep?-If I look the way I feel, you ought to see that I slept like a babe. Do you know, nowadays, I simply love life the whole long day, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed."

He: "Well, you look as fresh as a rosebud -and that is flattering language between an old married couple."

She: "Thank you. And you sleep better yourself. What a wonderful change Sanatogen has made in both of us. Like the flow of new life through one's veins.”

Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phos phorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve strength are derived. Over 24,000 physicians have written en- thusiastic letters about the success they obtained with Sanatogen.

FENG'S REVERSE.

HOW SUN CHUAN-FANG SAVED HSUCHOWFU.

J

Peking, Dec. 9, The vernacular papers state that the brunt of the fighting for the Kuominchun around Hauchowfu is being borne by the Mohammedan | General Ma, with troops from Kansu, and that Marshal Feng Yu- hsiang has promised Ma the control: of Kansu if he is successful in the present fighting,

When Marshal Chang Chung chang was in a critical position, attacked from both the west and the south, Marshal Sun Chuan- fang turned up unexpectedly from the region of Taingklangpu, devas- tated the Nationalist right flank and enabled Marshal Chang Chung chang, to throw the whole weight of his forces, successfully, against the Kuominchun.

Marshal Sun Chuan-fang, who re- cently went to Tehchow, is now re- maining at Hsuchowiu, co-operating with Marshal Chang Chung-chang.

Generalissimo Chang Tao-lin has instructed General Wu Chun-sheng, Tupan of Heilungkiang, to send 30,000 men to Shantung to make up the recent losses suffered in the ranks of the Chibli-Shantung

forces.
