SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1930,

Physicians advise:

"Take Sanatogen to

regain New Strength"

For more than 30 years physicians all over the world have prescribed Sanatogen whenever they had to combat nervous debility or general weakness in their patients.

No wonder Sanatogen is an ideal strength- creating food, containing exactly those elements-- phosphorus and albumin-which are nature's building material for Health and Strength.

"

Just think what a course of Sandtogen would mean to your health. Sanatogen will make you feel fit and energetic, able to withstand life in a hot climate without undue fatigue or illness. Sleeplessness, loss of appetite, irritability all those signs of weak nerves will quickly disappear once you have started building up new nerve-strength with Saautogen.

Start with a course of this famous tonic food to-day, then you will regain real, lasting health within a few weeks.

SANATOGEN

The True Tonic-Food

Obtainable at all Chemists and Storow.

Tale of Prairie Life.

-

I"Fighting Caravans," by Zane Grey: Hodder & Stoughton, 7/8.3

This is certainly one of the most thrilling of Zane Grey's tales of Prairie life. It is the story of a young boy, Clint Balmet, whose Indomitable spirit carries him through some blood-curdling en- counters with ruthless Indian raiders.
