"The nerves absorb Sanatogen as the parched earth drinks up water

Those are the words of a physician.

He continues: "It is a point among modern physicians to strengthen and nourish the nervous system as the source of all mental and bodily vitality. For this purpose nothing has been devised to equal Sanatogen."

And he is only one of the 24,000 physicians who took the trouble to express in writing that they had cięd Sanatogen and, found it a good restorative and reliable

builder of health.

Prof. Mann, formerly

Assistant Professor of Physiology at Oxford University, for instance, wrote after two years of study on the subject of Sanatogen: "A building-up process goes on in the nerves after the administration of Sanatogen," ·

When you do not feel

quire up to the mark, when your nerves or general health are not as good as they might be, try Sanatogen for a few weeks. Sanstogen must do you good. It is sure to strengthen the whole nervous system and by doing this ir improves your general health, your vitality and your energy.

ADVICE TO WOMEN MEDICAL STUDENTS.

MAGNIFIED MISTAKES: QUALITIES NEEDED

FOR SUCCESS. -

PROSPECTS IN THE PROFESSION.

It was with a few sentences of Bound and worldly-wise advice that Dr. Jane Walker, one of our most distinguished medical women, con clude her speech after presenting the prizes at the London (Royal Free-Hospital) School of Medicine for Women.

It was usual, she said, to offer women students advice about diet, dress, and so on. I am sure," she said, the food you require is that which you like to have, and as for your dress, I consider the modern girl is as well and sensibly dressed as it is possible for her to be.

The only thing I feel inclined to say on this point in: do not rt anyone perauade you to wear your skirts longer than you do at present. They are beautiful, grace- ful, and really useful, as well as economical.

"It is now quite an ordinary thing for women to study medicine, and in spite of the present-day croakers it is very rares that women doctors do not find plenty of work. Women doctors have still to be a bit better than men of the same standing," she continued.

L

A Solitary Life.

Lady Barrett, the Dean of the school, who presided, anid that there were 64 new students this year, the highest entry, the school had ever had except during the rush of the war years. If the parents of these students had any fear that they would have to face undue com petition she could assure them that the school could not keep pace with the demands for medical women. There were far more.demands for women to occupy posts than women to fill them. During the past few weeks three hospitals had taken the very unusual course of writing to the school asking it to nominato women for cer sin posta:

“Bex Antagonism." · Interviewed on Dr. Jane Walker's comment on the way in which women doctors were sometimes treated by men doctors, Dr. Alfred Cox, of the British Medical Asso ciation, suggested that a good deal depended upon the woman. "Cer- tainly there are some men who do not like working alongside women," he told a

At the same time do not be discouraged if you make mistakes, Everyone makes bad mistakes, and they learn more from them than from their sucecases.

But it is improving enormously," she said. There is a growing de mand for women doctors, and this jealousy is rooted in fen-because the men find that their livelihood is being affected. There is certainly room for more graciousness, but this is infinitely better than it was twenty years ago."

Dr. Winifred Cullis said: "In many country districts women are doing extraordinarily well and are working in barmony with the men. When the woman doctor arrives she certainly may be made to feel some- thing of an intruder, but this ne

Dr. Walker congratulated the students on attending school where 50, many of the woman tea- chers and professors were at the top. All medical women should civ at reaching the top of the tree,
