THE

CRUSADE AGAINST

DYSENTERY

#18E WORDS BY A PHYSICIAN,

Among the pernicious diseases incidental to life in the tropics dysentery takes an important place. The reasons for this are many and varied. It is, however, unnecessary to enumerate them bors. The great fact which avery realdent in these countries, and therefore every possible sufferer, has to keep prominently in mind is how to avoid this dread complaint in the first place, and, in the next, how to tako steps to onre it should be be unfortunate enough to contract it.

Speaking broadly, no tropical disease is more pestilential then dysentery, for it undermines the health, depresses the nervous system, reduces the tons and vigour of the whole body, diminishes the mental energy, and, generally, interfores, with the individual's physical power of resistance against disease. The result is that, unlike what happens in most other diseases, one attack does not act as a proventive, but rather prodisposes to snother, thus rendering the weskinod gystem liable to still further in- roads, until the condition of the sufferox is deplorable indeed, for he may be attacked by many after-effects, like abscess of the liver, drapsy, scurvy, and nervous affections

of various sorta.

Bal as all this is, the patient's case is rordered still worse by consideration of the fact that the general nutrition of the body is lowered by life in hot climates, that the digestive system is therefore depressed as well as the vitality, so that he not only storts heavily handicapped in favour of the disease, but also heavily handicapped against the conditions which make for recovery. In these respects dysentery may be said to re- -Bemble typhoid fever on the one hand, and malaria on the other, and the danger of both is too will known to used more than passing notice As typhoid is dus to ulceration of the small intestine, odysentery is duo to similar condition of the large or lower bowel, while malaria and dysentery us believed to have a close rela tion, the former prelisposing to attacks of

-the latter.

The treatment of dysentery, like that of typhoid, and, in great misasaro, that of malaria, sedmittedly one of dist. Milk, the biondest of foods, was, until a comparatively aliort me ago, the skest anchor of the physician. In the vory noute stages of the disease many doctors are However, opposed to its use, and many patients are not alle to digest it, so that, they grow atendly worse,

Happily, science has discovered a food-tonio which, as one physician has written, possesses virtues of a very lúgh order," and is practically a specific in the modern treatment of dysentery. This is Sunatogen. Its composition is well known, for it has been widely stated to consist of 95 per cent of pure casein of milk, the sab atanime to which that food owes it nutritive value, in chemical combination-not merely mixed with 5 per cent. of Glycero-Phosphato of Sodina, the chief vital constituent of the nervous system. These two substances, in the -combination in which they axist in Sanatogen, as so digestible that the preparation puts no strain on the most enfeebled digestive organs All of it is absorbed or assimilated by the body, so that there is no residus to irritate the ulcers which are formed in the course of the disease and prohibit the giving of solid food.

Bantogen is, therefore, universally prescribed even in the acutest stages of the severest cases for it prevents deterioration in nutrition, and malatains the patient's power of resistance at a high level, thereby giving him a better chance of recovering quickly and without complications More than that, cases which get worse under cadinary conditions rapidly improve when Samtagen is added to the diet. One of the supremest values of Banatagen is that it is not limited to restoring the health during or after dysentery, It is actually a preventive of the diemaso by strengthening the system so that it -can withstand exposure to the infection.

Tremulous April sunlight, shining the more softly after rain across the park and pleasance of Trevors Manor, and a girl's voice singing in the stillness :
