Tragedy ends this gay epoch; Athos, Porthos and Aramis are banished to the far corners of France by the Cardinal. D'Artag- nan remains alone in Paris, bereft of the companion swords of his loyal friends.

The next scenes are laid in 1643, five years later. The powerful Richelieu is dying, depriving France of one of her most devoted

leaders. The king maintains the pomp and glory of a throne which aways with the loss of its strongest prop, the Cardinal. The little Dauphin is the centre of the hopes of the country and is being train- ed in all the arts of princehood. D'Artagnan, elevated from the ranks of the musketeers to the post of personal guard of the heir to the throne retains the gallantry of his gay youth, with the added dig- nity which time and responsibility have brought him. It is to D'Artagnan that the dying Richelieu bequeaths the care and training of the little Dauphin.

Intrigues of Conspirators Twenty years pass between the death of the Cardinal and the open- ing of the third period of the story. Beneath the peasantry and pomp of the court of 1663, the intrigues of de Rochefort and his conspirators flourish unhampered by the departed Richelieu. King Louis XIII is dead, and the young Louis occupies his father's throne.

Conquer Malarial Debility

"As long as I live I shall pray for the continued success of Sanatogen, which has saved my life. As a result of re peated attacks of malarial fever, I hud become an absulate wreck and could not eat anything."

"The doctor prescribed Sanatogen, I have had no more attacks of fever, my digestion is now perfect and I can ear and enjoy my food. A great indescribable feeling of cheerfulness has come over me," wrote Ms. M. J. Seth of Bombay. The destructive work of the malaria parasite makes your blood thin, and, even when quinine has killed the parasite, this poverty of blood remains.

A short course of Sanatogen will strengthen the cells and tissues of nerves and body, in creasing the quantity of red blood corpuscles.

In the "Medical Echo" of March, 1924, a physician writes on his results ob tained with Sanatogen in 80 cases of anaemia. The average increase of red blood corpuscles in these cases was as high as 60% within three weeks, Regain your Energy and Strength with
