THE JOY OF RETURNING HEALTH.

WHAT TWO ROYAL PHYSICIANS DAY.

1

Of all the simple joys of life, few give a greater thrill than when, after a siege of illness, the patient is told that he has left suffering behind him; fe is convalescent, and is to be allowed to resume his normal food Instead of the light, sloppy diet on which he has been feeding

Even under favourable circumstances, how. ever, convalescence may be a protracted, tedious affair which the patient finds exceed. ingly irksome, especially if he has important duties to perform or urgent matters awaiting hle consideration. Even, however, if there is no such need for his immediate return to the work-a-day world, natural inclination makes

him anxious to be up and out in the shortest

possible time,

Under such circumstances, nothing will make him achieve his object so quickly as a course of Sanatogen. Every doctor knows that it is the greatest revitalising and recon- stituent preparation in the world, "the tonic food with lasting effects," as it has been called by those who like to describe it in a phrase. Its use in convalescence is uni- versal, and has been attested by thousands of doctors, including the physicians to ten crowned beads of Europe. Among them may be mentioned Dr. Ott, the late King Edward's physician at Marienbad, who writes have been using Sanatogen for a number of years in my practice with excellent resully. These results have been notably good in cases of convalescents after Bevere illness, and also in the can of elderly people when it was desirable to build up the strength, to stimulate the bodily functions, and to improve the circulation of the blood."

With his name may be associated that of Dr. Quirico, physician to H.M. the King of Italy, who has made the following state. ment" I have used Senatogen with marked benefit in the case of weakly children, and in convalescence after long illnesses. I consider the preparation a most

excellent tonic food,"

The reason for Sanatogen's use at this time is simple, It supplies an easily digestible food of great strength, one which restores the nervous as well as the physical side of the body, and improves the condition

of the blood.

Sanatogen may be obtained of alt chemists,

RAPION DURES TO STAY DURKES

WILL RANJI PLAY FOR ENGLAND?

A. SPECIAL INTERVIEW.

[By Sir Home Gordon, Barti, in the

·Daily Express.}

THE HONGKONG DAILY PREJS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28RD, 19, 2..

One important aftermath of the Delhi Durbar is the sensational Intimation I am able to give that his Highness the Jam Sakch, as he is known all over India, or

S. Ranjitsinhji, as he is known to the cricket-loving communities of the world, is ready to play for England in the triangular contest next, summer, if he is invited, and if he is good enough.

NEW SHADES AND STYLES IN SOFT FELIS.

When I arrived at Delhi, as the guest of the Jam Saheb, I had not the remotest idea that there would ever again be any prospect of his playing first-class cricket. This he will positively do, for Lord Landesborough, who invited him to play against both the South was also his guest for the Durbar, bas Africans and Australians in the Scarborough Festival next August, and so Ranji " to call him what the man in the street always NEW does call him will make his third appear- ange at that delightful wind-up of the cricket

season.

The great Indian cricketer, I found, was tremendously keen on once more proving his consummate ability before the British public, which idolised him when he was in regular practice.

IN STRICT TRAINING.

me on

several occasions, the Jam Saheb thus out-

In his own words, repeated to lined his intentions: I am sailing for England in March. Until then 1 am going into strict training, living in camp and shoot-

in the jungle. On arriving in London, shall see my doctor, and if he advises it, 60 for a short cure to Aix-les-Bains. Then, at the beginning of the season, after plent of practice at the nets, 1 shall hope to play for M.C.C. at Lord's, and perhaps my old county, Sussex, may care to have me once more. After that, it remains to be seen it Lam good enough to play for England again. I confess I should like to make another hundred in big cricket."'

I can

Is he good enough? That must be the question which will be asked on all sides. Of course that remains to be seen. only testify to what I myself witnessed. In bis own capital, Jamnagar, at my request, he came to bat at a net, not having held a bat for many months.

It was in the evening after he had been out shooting for seven hours, besides motor- ing nearly twenty miles, and the only nourishment he had all day was half a glass of lemonade and some Mellin's Food.

He batted on a matting wicket stretched on very hard ground. Against him were bowling three Indians, one of whom he him- self thinks of highly as one of the most promising bowlers he has seen.

AS GOOD AS EVER.

This was only half the attack, for the ball was also taken by Mr. E. C. Lee, the old

Oxonian, who has so often played for Hants, Major C, D. Rose, still one of the best-left handed bowlers in the service, and the old Malvernian, Mr. H. L. Simms, of Sussex, who is on the Jam Saheb's staff and who, under his tuition, has become uncommonly dangerous with the ball; indeed, he is a far better cricketer than when he played in first- class matches.

Against this sextet, the Jam Saheb batted as admirably as ever he did in his life. I have

seen the majority of his finest perform ances ever since his Cambridge days, but never did he show more complete mastery. Of course, it was all in his second manner.. that of playing back. But the consummate supremacy was as marked as ever. They were bowling all they knew, and not one ball ever gave him the least trouble.

Towards the close, when the light was failing fast, the bowler's arm was entirely lost to me, standing behind the wicket in the shadow of the pavilion; but the Jam Saheb did not lose sight of one delivery, and observed to me that they had not troubled him at all.

All the English amateurs bowling to him corroborated my view that he was still as good as ever, he was, and that he possessed the old infinite variety of strokes,

He tells me himself that when he turns out in England he will scale less than when he was last over here. Certainly, bis eye

in English cricket, but ought again to show his superb batting in many long scores in the coming season.

Of course, his reappearance for England will be opposed in certain influential quar- ters. Some few have never been pleased that an Indian ruling prince should play for the mother country. No matter how good he may prove himself, it is inevitable that some who pull the strings will strive to keep the Jan Saheb out of Test matches.

As to his qualifications, there can be no doubt." A cricketer who has played for his county for five successive years is qualified to play for that county for the rest of his cricket career." So runs the law.

On the eve of leaving for South America, Lord Hawke told me how much he hoped on his return he should see his old friend again in Test matches, and he added how delighted both the Australians and South Africans would be, certainly thousands would then flock to the triangular contest who would never be attracted by any other cricketer.

It may be interesting to note that the life figures in first-class cricket of the Jam Saheb show a batting average of 48 for an aggre gate of 24, 103. When last here, in 1908, he scored 1,138 runs, with an average of 45- In Test matches his aggregate is 989, show. ing an average of 24 Thus in the greatest matches, figures prove what we all know, namely, that he has then shown his finest form.

If the Jam Saheb is good enough to play,

he would also make the best cantain. As

matters stood, it seemed inevitable that Mr..

C. B. Fry would have the refusal of the cap- taincy.
