"I will take Sanatogen

till my nerves are better" THOUSANDS of people as sceptical as you

have discovered that their decision: "I will give Sanatogen a fair trial," haschanged their whole life. Where formerly they felt worn and tired, they now enjoy radiant health and abundant energy. They are really and thoroughly healthy again, able to do a full day's work without feeling any fatigue.

Sanatogen revitalizes the whole cell life of your system and multiplies the number of red blood corpuscles. But its main strength lies in its remarkable influence on the nervous system. That is principally due to the glycero- phosphate which is present in Sanategen in the exact form in which it exists in the nerve cells. It is only from Sanatogen-an intricate chemical combination unique in the whole scientific world that these delicate nerve cells can, fully absorb the energising phosphates.

That's why that lumants standard worki "The Elements of Pharmacy, Materia Mexica and Therapeutics" ways;

Dissensions between the British and French High Commands at the beginning of the Great War Bra among the historic events on which much light is thrown by the memoirs of Marshal Joffre.

Extracts from these memoirs have been published by the Illustration, although they do not appear in

book form until next month.

The vitally important five days from August 23 to 20, 1914, are dealt with in the first instalment. During these days the Marshal was naking supreme efforts to regroup his forces of 4 new strategical plan, which should have given the Allies the opportunity of launch- ing the counter-attack now known to history as the Battle of the
