A thousand times this number of Physicians endorse

SANATOGEN

The Royal Tonic-Food.

Over twelve thousand practising physicians have recorded in writing their high opinion of Sanatogen, and many thousands more are dally prescribing it with the most beneficial results in cases of nervous debility, brain fag, lack of vitality, sleeplessness, disordered digestion, poverty of blood, and various wasting diseases.

Can you ask for more convincing testimony of Sanatogen's value than the fact that it is thus publicly endorsed and recommended by practically the whole medical profession?

When you are constantly weary in mind and body; when your brain is overworked; when your nerves are jaded-that is when you need Sanatogen to re- build and revitalise you.

*Among the original letters in praise of Sanatogen which are filed for public inspection, there are many from world-famous physicians, whose names stand for the highest scientific achievements. Their advice, and the example of distinguished men like those mentioned here, it is safe for you to follow.

“A Great Invigorator of Life,"

Never are Sanatogen's effects more wonderfully shown than in cases of convalescence after Malaria, Dysentery, Enteric Fever and other exhausting tropical diseases. A striking cane in point is that of Mr. Thomas Lynn, c/o Presidency Postmaster, G.P.O., Calcutta, who writes: "I had been a martyr to Malaria for four years, becoming weaker and weaker, with the naturally run-down condition and brain fag, nervousness and Dyspepsia. Sanatogen was strongly recom- " imended by a friend, and I am delighted to eny that only two bottles have made an extraordinary difference for the better-nay, for the beat. I shall always highly recommend Sanatogen everywhere I go."

Sanatogen will Give You New Life.

If you are a sufferer from poor nerves, low vitality or a weak digestion, it is simply a duty you owe to yourself and your family to begin the use of Sanatogen. Buy the first bottle to- day; you can get it in Hong Kong from Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co.; The Sincere Co., Ltd., 215/21, Vosrenz Road; and of all Chemists. It is a fine, white powder which can be pleasantly taken in any non-acid beverage. And you may take it with the absolute assurance that it will give you a new leass of health, new strength and vitality, stronger nerves, and better digestion.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

A NEW METHOD OF BLEAU ING.

By a new German process, bleaching is effected without the use of ordinary bleaching powder solutions, and the advantages claimed include an important saving in time and chemicals. The goods ara packed in a sprcial bleaching boiler, In this they are covered with a caustic soda solution to which has been added

It is an established fact that all diseases spring from one source, namely: Impurity of

and are boiled about two hours without the Blood. Therefore our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted, and diseased, thus causing pains, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted; and if Nature is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important, then, that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assistance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mountain cliffs in Nature's garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.

The boiling is continued about 12 hours longer, the air current being kept up, and the bleaching is then complete with out further treatment with chemicals.

paper tu the Massachusetts Boards of Health, W. T. Sedgwick and F. Schneider, Jr., have shown that in the 60 years before 1890 there were not half a dozen cases of poisoning from the coal-gas then used, but since the repeal of the State law forbidding gas containing more than 10 por cont. of carbon monoxide, water-gas has come into common use, and has brought at least 1,200 cases of poisoning in Massachusetts alone. Prof. Sedgwick. advocates a return to coal-gas, which is still retained in many places.

THE TELEPHONE ON THE NERVES.. The ear-troubles of telephone users are attributed by Dr. Forster of Charlotten- burg to the sharp crackling and other. intermittent distracting noises, and not tu any electrical or electromagnetic action. The elimination of these sounds is a problem for the telephone engineer. Herr Bahr of Charlottenborg has at- tempted a solution, and claims improve- iron ment by substituting for the diaphragm one of mica attached to an iron disc.

THE OVERHEAD MOON IS LARGEST. The apparent enlargement of the sun and the full moon when near the horizon has been explained as an optical illusion, due probably to notae consideration of distance in comparing the heavenly bodies with lerrestrial objects in the same field of view. Another suggestion has been that the atmosphere really has a magnifying effect, and to test this theory photographs have been lately made at Flammarion's observatory by Quénisset, of comet fame. Pictures of the sun were taken at two-minute intervals and an exposure of two hours showed the moon as a long streak of light. There was no enlargement near the horizon, but instead the lessened light caused a slight diminu- tion in apparent size.

NON-POISONOUS PAINTS.

Zirconium compounds as iron-poisonous white pigments are the subject of a German patent. The oxide, silicate, basic carbonate, phosphate and basic sulphite of zirconium have a good white colour, mix well with the usual vehicles, and are claimed to yield paints of good covering power and durability. They retain their brightness, all but those made from the carbonate resist the action of acids and alkalies, and sulphuretted hydrogen does

not affect them.

PERCEPTION OF, TASTE,

In tests of the sensitiveness of taste, Dr. Glotzbach, a German, has found that

a solution of 6,000,115 per cent in water

is the weakest that the tongue can detect.

One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a SUDORIFIC, which opens the pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within.

The second is a plant which is an EXPECTORANT that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner performs its duty by throwing off the phlegm and other humours from the lungs by copious spitting.

The third is a DIURETIC, which gives ease and double strength to the Kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passages, and which could not have been discharged in any other way.

The fourth is a CATHARTIC, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood, and the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets are thus taken up and conveyed off in large quantities by the bowels.

From the foregoing it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find the way to every part, and completely root out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body. which is the blood becomes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain are driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes pure and clean.

DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-ard are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines.do.

Sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate and caloum nitrate affected the taste about the same as cane sugar, and the same proved to be true of sodium nitrite, magnesium sulphate and sodium sulphate.

METALLIC THORIUM.

Noxi to the metallic radium isolated by Madame Curie, the metallic thorium obtained by E. Chauvenet is perhaps the most important radioactive substance., Thorium chloride reduced with lithium in an exhausted tube made of nickel gave an alloy of nickel and thorium, but the nickel was so difficult to separate that an iron tube was substituted for that of nickel, and pure sodium was used an reducing agent. This gave thorium with & purity of 6 per cent., the impurity being probably a hydrated thorium oxide. This thorium is black, and does not oxidize in air or in oxygen at ordinary pressure, but is attacked by oxygen under 2.5 atmospheres. Though only slowly reacted upon by chlorine gas, thorium burned brilliantly in fused potassiom chloride.

TEST OF WILD LAND. The grass of the Great Plains of the United States has been found by the Bureau of Plant Industry to vary greatly with the character of the soil and of the water supply. The three regions of short- gross, wire-grass and bunch-grass are recognized. The first thrives in good years but fails with insuficient water, the last resists drouth but has low nutritive

value, and the wire-grass, of intermediate qualities, is most reliable, and marks the land most favourable for cultivation.
