"BELOW PAR"

A ROYAL PHYSICIAN'S EXPERIENOR.

I feel completely done up! How often does one hear that expres sion, which means so much to the man or woman who utters it and, as a rule, so little to those who hear it?

It betokens, of course, a condition of mental and physical lassitude, either of result from the other, and which may

lenotes that for sonie, reason or other the individual is "below par," and that his vital forces are not working properly; It

may be that the digestion is disordered and he is not able to assimilate sufficient food, or that his excretory organs are unable to keep the blood sufficiently pure, with the result that waste products in crease in it and black, as it were, the vital functions in exactly the same way as ashes block a furnace.

It is obvious, too, that, as overy func tion of the body is under the control of the nervous system, if the latter is "below spar,

"the former will, likewise, in time, tend to work aluggishly.

It is equally obvious, therefore, that whether the cause is nervous or physical, Hbie condition of "floppiness" or ennui kan be most readily removed by the use of a food which is easily digestible on the one hand and has no waste on the other, while it, at the same time, it directly pourishes the nervous system, its action in bringing about a cure will be even more rapid still.

All these qualities are possessed by Sanatogen, that tonic nerve food the praises of which have been sung by the chief medical men in every part of the world, and by thousands upon thousands of their colleagues everywhore.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

THE MOVING-PICTURE ERA

The art of cinematography is rapidly entering into our lives, and in addition to giving popular records of interesting events, moving pictures in the future are to play an important part in education, medical and other science, the arts, and even in commeren. A recent development has been the production of X-ray moving pictures of the internal organs and parts of the body. For rapid motions, like those of flying insects, a new apparatus takes 2,000 auccessive views a second on 125 feet of film, and, as the usual stop- ping of the films for each exposure is impossible at such speed, the exposures are given by electric sparks, each lasting not more than one 1,500,000th of a second. The pictures may be shown on the screen at the ordinary moving picture rate of 15 or 20 suocṛusive views per second, thus giving a better perception of motions that originally are difficult for the eye to follow. A new Edison promise is that of a home kinetoscope, that will make moving pictures available for everybody for varied purposes. It is announced that what now requires 1,000 feet of film with he compressed upon 80 feet, and the apparatus will compare with a sewing machine in cost. An illustration of com-

idea of moving....... pictures to show a machine at work.
