Energy

"The longer I live the more I am certain that the great difference between men, between the feeble and the powerful, the great and the insignificant, is energy-- invincible determination, a purpose once fixed and then death or victory. That quality will do anything that can be done in this world; and no talents, no circum stances, no opportunities, will make a two-legged creature a man without it.”

Sir T. F. BUXTON, Bar

The use of Sanatogen for a few weeks means an entire overhaul of the whole mechanism of Health. Sanatogen, by power of its two constituents-albumin and phosphorus-re builds every cell of your body, renews the blood, gives new strength and energy to the debilitated nerves and enables you to do twice as much twice as well. Sanatogen is a trite conqueror of fatigue. Prof. Mann, formerly of Oxford University, wrote :

"A building-up process goes on in the nerves after the administration of Sanatogen." Start taking Sapatogen to-day. Irritability, depression, siceplessness, fatigue and all other symptoms of nervousness will quickly vanish and you will begin to enjoy better Health, greater Energy and a happier life.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

"C.A.P."In reference to the use of the "B" battery, I am being advised in two different ways as to slugging my terminals into the bat tery. One friend, who has an eye to "economy as well as to results, suggests that the positive should be plugged in the 45 volt tapping (I arm using a 60 Holt Columbia bat tory) and the wander plug from the detector in the 80 volt tap.
