THE AFTER EFFECTS OF FEVER. After fever-whether, it be, ordinary fever of the simple character or one of the serious diseases like Typhoid, the acute stage of Malaria, etc.-the Mnfortunate patient is always left in a condition of more or less prostration and rollupse, with anemia of greater or less intensity, and a sensation of mental and physical weakness which makes him take an utterly erroneous and despon. dent view of his condition

Obviously, the thought uppermost in his mind, the supreme desire of his existence, is to get better as rapidly as possible, to feel the warm blood coursing through his body, and to have that mental and physical grip fover himself which are the characteristic sensations of perfect health. In achieving this desired end, nothing will have so rapid an effect Sanatogen, which is known, the world over, as the most revitalising, the greatest restorative and the best recuperative tonic food in the work. Its reputation rests on the bedrock of medical opinion, as it is by the direct prescription of doctors every where that that reputation bas attained the

erinence it enjoys,

Its value has been strikingly set forth in a well-known the following words of physician, which every doctor will confirm This doctor writes, over his own signa ture: I recommend Sanatogen highly, and prescribe it wherever necessary, thereby shortening the period of convalescence among my patients."

These words. evincide with those of the physician to the Queen-Mother of Italy, who writes have used Sanatogen with marked benefit in convalescence after long illnesses. I consider the preparation a most excellent tonic food."

The effects Sanatoger has wrought in the after treatment of all fevers, restoring the of heath, condition blood to the reinvigorating the nervous system, build ing up the bodily strength and restoring the weight which has been lost, are facts which are easily verified by everyone; for they are within the knowledge of all dortors, and your own physician must substantiate them If you ask him.

FAMINE RELIEF WORK IN

WORK OF RECLAMATION,

The Central China Fomino Relief Committes hae issued a long statement from which we take the following:-

Rev. F. C. Lobenstine, Secretary of the Central China Famino Relief Committee, has just returned from a trip to the Wohn-famira district. He raya that it is the judgment the local Committes at Woha; that the mont important piece of work to be done is the

Within this district, however, there are great many very large land owners, and it has been proposed that a tax be levied for the build- ing of this dyke, the Central; China Famine Relief Commitloe to assist the small land owners who have been ruined by the flood, and oversee the work,

The Committoo is thus placing the respon

A number of these land owners live in Shanghai, and the Chinese mombers of the Central China Tamino Relief, Commities are taking measures to have the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai call them together to present to them the aced for nation on their part

Meanwhile the Committee wil built a smaller dyke to provide labour for the rofugees about Wuhu, and furnish to the gentry an ob jeat lesson of the Committee's methods of work.

RAFEGUARDING THE USE OF FAMINE FUNDS:

The Central Chino Famine Relief Committee is putting into operation in Chins the "Test works" plan of investigating famine conditions as developed by the British Government. in Indin.

The Hon. G. G. White, chief engineer of the Public Works Department for Larmal, thus describes the plan: In order to know where and when to open famine relief works, test works are opened in the scarcity tract, which Immediately tanko dear whether famine relief work is really required. Often it happens the people from the nearest villages come into the works, stay few days, find that they must work beri, and leats, plainly showing thoro is no real famine. If they remain, and recruits keep coming in, they are taken care of by extending the work."

This plan is being put into oporation in the Niago district and will be used elsewhere. wherever any question is raised as to real need for faline relief. In most placca, however, the desperate need is beyond question,

In prorious faminos, although it was recog nised as desirable to give relief chiefly in roturn for work, and this was to a considerable extent carried out, for the larger part rice was simply given away to the in need, and little attempt at preventive measures was undertaken. The distinctive thing about the procent Famine Committee is its ambition to become the last of its kind in China. Its desire is to create a public sentiment that will throw upon the New for under.

It is the object of the Committee not only to securo money in China and abroad for famine relief in the form of work, but to influence the Govern ment to spond its money in the same way; so a to avoid pauperization in gaving life, and to provent the resurranco of famine.

The missionarles living in the famine Cistricts bavo felt he only the burden of continued famine relief year after year; which broaks into the ountinuity of the regular work carried on st their stations At a meeting of misticnaries at Koling during last summer, they decided upon a policy of no relief without work, except in the case of those incapacitated for, work, and to ap point representatives to push the organization of a new committee,

The suppression of the cultivation of the poppy in North Aubai hes accentuated tha severity of famine conditions, and the people are now being driven to raising opium in this district as a means of getting a crop this year.
