"Yes, so I see. But crying without any real cause can only mean one thing: Nerves. You should try Sanatogen for a few weeks. It will brace you up wonderfully and once your nerves and blood are right you will feel yourself. again-more disposed to laugh than to cry. And it will give you new appetite too, and bring colour to your cheeks. It has done that very thing for me."

Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements -phosphorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve- strength are derived. Over 24,000 physicians have written enthusiastic letters about the success they obtained with Sanatogen.

He is Sir Henry Head, who has made some of the most important contributions of modern times to the knowledge of nervous disorders, and is also celebrated in medical history as the voluntary subject of one of the most fearsome experi- ents that has ever been made in the cause of scientific progresa

The incurable disease from which he is suffering a form of creeping paralysis is one of which he has made a Hfe study.

First Symptoms.

Sir Henry retired from practice and threw up his many distinguish ed appointments about eighteen months ago, when the first symp; toms of the disease appeared, and he has lived aince at Forsten House, his country home, about five miles from Dorchester.

A nurse is in constant atten. dance, and a young specialist, who is one of Sir Henry's old pupila frequently goes down from London to consult with the patient on the treatment of the disease

Medical men from all parts of the world still correspond with him en abstruse problems of neurology, and Sir Henry dictates his replies to his wife.

...

Nearly twenty years ago Sir Henry deliberately risked contact- ing paralysis, by a dangerous ex- periment he undertook in the case of medical research.

He had the nerves of his left arm severed near the elbow, for the pur pose of studying, by personal ex- perience, the problem of deep sensibility."

Di Head prepared himself specially for the sacrifice. He nei- ther smoked nor drank alcoholic liquors, and lived a life of rigorous self-denial.

Noble Action.

A fellow practitioner said that the notion of Dr. Head was worthy to rank with the noblest ever fe corded in the annals of science.

When the sacrifice was made kad- ing nerve specialists in the coun- try watched the case, and were able to acquire new knowledge of the way in which mesanges are convey- ed through the nerves to the brain. Accidents in which these, nerves have been severed have, moreover, since received mor effective treat ment than ever before in die history of surgery-

The disease which is now afflict- ing Sir Henry Head is a rare dis- order known as Parkinson's dis ease. It was discovered one hun. dred years ago, and can be caused by adhesion of the nerves, but Lady Head will not believe that her hus band's illness is attributable to his experiment.

His arm healed up perfectly," she said, "I think the discase must have been brought on by overwork. "It is incurable, but it does not attack life. My husband, of course, is only too familiar with every phase of the diocasa, e

"He often remarks how easy it was for him to tell patients who used to be sent to him with the dis ease that they must resign them- selves to sleeplessness, and that they must bear this and put up with that. He da sorry now that he could not quite appreciate how hard life was for them:"

ROYALTY AND MR. SHAW,

SWEDISH PRINCE IN ARMS AND THE MAN."

Mr. Sinclair's story is based on the traditional beliefs of the Abys

sinions.

"The Abyssinians believe," writes Mr. Sir," that the first Menelik, Nogus of Shoa, came down and conquered the whole of this country to the Ruji river. When he was old he brought the whole of his army to the slopes of Kilimanjaro, and there ha felt his time had come. He ascended the mountain with all his generals, officers and slaves, carrying his treasure, which consisted of stones and gold, and Solomon's which he had on his finger.

He also announces that he pro- poses to build at Elstree:

There is a general belief to-day that a king will eventually arise who will possess the old king's spirit, and who will reconquer this country, which they still call Ethiopia."

The Only Treasure. Miss Sheila Macdonald, a 22-year old London girl, who has climbed Kilimanjaro, told the Evening Standard representative to-day that she had not heard of the stors.

I climbed Kilimanjaro in July of this year," said Miss Mac donald, but I certainly did not look for any buried treasure. did not know that there was any rumour of any being there.

"The only treasure I know ul on Kilimanjaro is an empty wine bottle, which we left with a message attached to it recording, that we "had climbed to the summit."
