CURING DISEASE.
BY PROPER FOOD.
Every thinking man must be impressed by the fact that the modern doctor is relying less and less on the administration of druge for the cure of the ordinary ill- Desses of life, and more and more on the selection of proper food. As a matter of fact, this idea is not so new as it seems, for it has been advocated for hundreds of years-for Thames Sydenham, who was called the English Hippocrates," and lived in the seventeenth century, wrote: There are not a few discases which can be cured by the use of proper diet alone." In treating disordered and diseased conditions by food, there are two facts to be observed. The fires is the elimination of foods which are found to be injurious to the individual, and the second is to supply him with food which he can digest with ease and assimilate without trouble, food which will nourish him so completely that is weakened system will rapidly gain strength. Moreover, this food, being of a bland nature, must put no strain on
backs to its use.
the organs of excretion, whose mission is to keep the blood pure.
Among such foods, milk takes a high place. There are, however, grave draw In the first place, it necessitates the inking of a quantity of fluid which, in itself, may greatly disturb the digestion.
In the second place, it is by no means easy to get pure milk in hot countries.
MOTOR LINERS,

THE SHIPS THAT DO NOT NEED COAL.
(BY T. THORNE BAKER, R.C.5,, IN THE **DAILY MALL."']
Oil has proved itself more than ever a successful competitor of coal in the first run of the first motor liner, the Selandia, which with strange significance reached London from Copenhagen at the height of the coal crisis. A new type of vessel has appeared on the seas, with no funnels, and with masts only necessitated by the cranes for handling the cargo,
This pioneer ship of the East Asiatic Company is the first large vessel, designed for ocean trade, propelled by oil engines, and having a displacement of 9,800 tons may be classed fairly as a large ocean cargo boat. The ship is the outcome of progressive experiments which, started on
a humble scale with internal combustion engines depending on oil fuel, harg gradually become more important and more successful, and several months ago led this enterprising shipping company to launch out with a fully fledged liner for work between Europe and the East. Fitted with two eight-cylinder engines of the Diesel type, made by the enterprising firm of Burmeister and Wain, of Copen- hagen, the Selvadio is capable of develop- ing over three thousand borse-power, and makes well over efeven knots when run
In the third place, in order to preserve the milk it is frequently mixed with chemicals, like boracic acid. This is ex-ning on full speed. A thousand pounds ceedingly liable to cause indigestion in of oil is used by the engines in an hour, aduits and certain to do so in children, but as the storage capacity for oil is about while many people find it disagrees with nine hundred tone, the vessel can easily carry sufficient fuel for a twenty-thousand- them in other ways.
raile run at full speed. Probably during the present month the Floniu, the sister- ship to the Selandia, will be launched, and already several other vessels of similar and large size for ocean trade are under construction.
MANY DEVICES FOR CURE.
Many methods have been devised for overcoming these difficulties, and dried milks of various kinds have been recom-
mended to be used.
It is constantly found, however, that the sufferers in warm climates need something more than milk products to sustain their health and strength, The reason is that their nervous system is constantly affected through the too rapid using up of the phosphorus saits which play so powerful a part in maintaining the health of the nervous system.
A SUCCESSFUL FIRST VOYAGE.
com-
Nothing could have given more plete satisfaction as the reliability of an oil-propelled ship than the trials of this unique liner. Besides being able to start at a few minutes' notice, she proved so well under control and her engines were eo easily reversed that what might have been The pre-eminent nced of such people, a nasty collision with the cargo steamer and, indeed, of most people who live in Skandia was easily averted on the occasion hot countries, is a food which combines of her first trials. On her voyage to the untritive qualities of pure milk with London the ship had ideal conditions for the energising and nerve-building pro-patting the performance of her engines to perties of phosphorus, These two ele- a thorough test, as she encountered munts, however, are almost quite useless tempestuous. weather and behaved if merely mixed together, for the ordinary splendidly.

liner, may be asked by the layman, apart What are the advantages of the motor from the question of the world's coal supply becoming exhausted during the next two or three hundred years? In the first place, the space required for fuel is very small compared with coal, and the oil can be taken in at an immense speed by means of pipes leading to the bunkers The bunkers, by the way, can be of any odd shape, so that much of the odd space at present almost useless in a ship can be employed for the storage oil. Boiler space is unnecessary, and as the il goes so much further than coal, the extra cargo or number of passengers that would be carried would mean a far greater earning capacity for the ship; something like three-fourths of the engine-room staff, would be dispensed with.
Te is in this form that these elements exist in Sanatogen which, to quote an article published in The Medical Press and Creator,bas strengthened the physician's hand a hundredfold," while. it adds, "the wonders brought about by it are no less manifold than amazing, and have been testified to by leading physicians whose names are as household words in many countries of the world."
10
THE BEST METHOD. Sanatogen, in fact. has come to be recognised by the beat doctors everywhere as the greatest tonic fued in the world, the one preparation on which complete reliance can be placed to build up the tissues which are destroyed in many dis eases, and thus to restore the lost weight which results from them. In order
do this, Sanatogen
first must restore the blood to its best possible condition, for every part of the body derives its nourishment from the blood, while, at the same time, it revitalises the nervous system. It is thus evident that Sanatogen's power is not limited to ono organ; but, by influencing the digestion, the nerves and the bloed, it exercises a wide control over various conditions, and can ameliorate and cure a large number of symptoms.

Many experts who have dealt with the coal problem and the possible substitutes for coal have more or less ignored oil for some anaccountable reason. One has only to make a conscientious examination of the oil outputs from various parts of the world, including Scotland, to see the potentiality of this fuel, and when, one bears in mind the much larger amount of energy that can be obtained from it, weight for weight, than is the case with coal, its significance becomes still more marked. According to a recent report of the Liverpool Journal of Commerce, there oil-carrying ships under construction at are at the present moment twenty-one new certain specified yards capable of carrying

Quite recently I saw. at work in the north of England, at a ship- uilding works whose proprietors are themselves large colliery owners, several new furnaces on trial, which were giving every satisfaction. The day may not be very far distant when oil, pumped from the bowels of the earth by oil driven machinery and conveyed to this country by oil-driven ships, may be used for the smelting and working of ores, iron and SUN PILSENER steel, for the building of fresh ships and their internal combustion engines.
Oil for internal combustion engines can be obtained from between 34s and 405. a ten, and besides occupying only about one- fourth of the bunker space required for MITSUBISHI coal, the cost of running-for moderate speeds, at any rate is only something like a third of that holding good for steam reciprocating engines,

of the great competition between shipping companies. Five years ago the largest internal combustion engine running was of only 450 horsepower; now the harse power is beginning to run into several
thousands.
The Selandia, and her two sister-ships when ready, should pave the way to the general adoption of internal combustion engines for pesan cargo work; it remains for engineers to improve their construction as rapidly and as successfully as they have done in the past, and fast passenger liners will follow as a natural sequence.
Considering the supremacy of Great Britain in matters maritime, it is a little Astonishing that the great bulk of the pioneer work in connection with oil-driven ships is being done on the Continent. Ona instance of our own industry in this respect is a ship now building on the
