A physician writes

in the "General Practitioner":

She: "How did I sleep 7-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 hemade 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.

The scene at Canton continues to change with dramatic suddenness. The Ironsides, who recaptured the city from the Communists, have now left, taking a lot of money with them, and the Kwangsi forces are ready to step into power. Mean- while, the movement for the re-enthronement of General Li Chai-sum in the southern capital grows stronger day by day. The interesting events leading up to the present situation in Canton are graphically described by Chinese correspondents and observers in this week's ""Overland Mril.""

Pirates are again active on the Yangtze River, and Brituh naval action has been taken against them. The "Overland" contains full reports of all engagements and activities in this ・ares, together with accounts of the war in the north, where Nationalists have again attacked Fengtien forces, threatening to march on Peking.
