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 checks. It has dond 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 Saratogen.

Mr. W. V. Franklin, for Miss Vidler, said that Dr. Shsun wrote in one letter addressed to Dear Millie":-

Dr. Sasun wrote in subsequent letters about going to India when he was free, and that Miss Vidler was not to get silly ideas into her head as he would make provision for her wherever he went and what ever he did..

Dr. Sasun, after writing to Miss Vider that prison was a great test of a woman's fidelity," and telling her to have patience a everything will be all right," stated i I want to get away for! six months' holiday after beingi seven and a half years in this charming plach.”

He mentioned a yacht, and, ask! ing her to arrange this, said: "I wannet kidnap you or force you against your will. I want peace and quietness somewhere."

Mr. Franklin, referring to counterclaim for £1.979, said that it included such items as cigarettes and cigars £50, household provi sions, curtains and linen, pyjamas, shirts and collars, and a gold watch.

Miss Vidler knew nothing about most of them, and Mr. Franklin suggested that the counterclaim was put in to frighten Miss Vidler out of the case.
