A little further on, as we take a big sweep in the river, one discerns a pagoda perched high on a hill, and visible for many miles.

Some two hours later we reach Nanking, an interesting old city, with its great stone wall, which en- circles it for a length of about 22. miles. A stop is made, and a little of the old China may be seen. A visit to the Ming Tombs beyond the city is well worth while. It is here that the Emperors of the first Ming Dynasty are buried, and the avenues of huge stone statues, re- presentative of men and beasts, mark a very interesting chapter in the earlier history of China.

That is the reason why over 24,000 physicians wrote to the makers about the excellent results obtained with Sanatogen, why a well-known physician describes the effects of Saratogen on himself as follows:

"After I here'saken Sematogen for a few days, I can da my. -routine work, which is fairly arduous, without any fueling of fatigue auming at any time.” (See "Medical Echo," *January, 1923.)
