THE HALF TALENT.

Dr. Max Nordau on Mediocrity" and-Ambition-

Dr. Max Nordau, the most gift- ed as well as the most celebrated of the foreign correspondenta in Paris, undertakes romo explüm- tion of talent in “La Royue," "Hé recalls a definition that hô gave. in his well-known_ " Psycho- physiology of Geniusand Talent. "A man of talent is one who'habit- ually accomplishes certain forms of activity better than the majority of those who have sought to sc quire the same aptitude." The" fundamental element is imitation, Nearly every, maų, normally "developed, is capable of imitation. just as is our pre- or sub-human cousin, the monkey. Imitation presupposes i modol and an effort to resemble it in consequence, an oxercise, a study. In short, talon! can be learned, and up to a cor tain point, overy normal man in form a talent. Out of every two men, ane'has talent."

Parsing this theme, D. Nor- dat says the salons have become one of the terrors of great towns. The occupation of painter and

No, "any tonic'' won't do

-Get Sanatogen

The doctor's parting caution. emphasises a convic tion based upon knowledge and experience. The doctor knows that the ordinary "tonic" is nothing' but a temporary stimulant. He knows that his patient needs something which will actually nourish the run- down nervous system-witch will convey to, the cells the very substance of which they are built up, and he knows that this very substance is scientifically com. blued In Sanatogen,, which is in truth a definte organic compound of pure milk-proteid and glycero- phosphate of sodium, the two great essentials for perve repair..

The Great Invigorator.

The doctor notes that the claims niade for Sabatogen have been abundanúy verified by scientific investiga- tlon-that its merits have been acclaimed by leading authorities and by thousands of his brother physicians. Last, but not least, he knows from his own experience what Sauatogen is capable of doing. He has watched Its rejuvenating effect upon people whose nerves had been undermined by worry, overwork or illiess. He has observed, too, how wonderfully it improves appetite and digestion, how it promotes sleep, how it conveys fresh vigour and Vitality to the overworked body and mind-in" short, how wonderfully it strengthens the forces that make for perfect, vibrant nerve-health,

For Convalescence in Tropical Diseases.

The supreme value of Sanatogen, both as an energising tonic and as a highly nutritious and concentrated food, in vividly shown by its effecta on convalescents from Malaria Dysentery, and other tropical disease.

Dr. Beheim, writing in the "Colombo Indepen dent," sayı:-"If any remedy should find the widest appreciation in tropical countries, it is Sanatogen. Not only in my opinion, but in the opinion of many well-known medical men, there Is no preparation which is as powerful to restore vitality, no better torac and none more suitable lo convalescents from tropical diseases." Another doctor writes from Dan-Dam, Bangore: "I have used Sanatogen with most gratifying - results in several cases convalescing from Malaria, Dysentery and Typhoid. It is a nerve tonic of highly nutritive value and stimulating influence.. I recommend it highly. Furthermore, I have personally derived great benefit from ila usa”!

Try Sanatogen To-day,

Do you need a Louie? Are you aware of the futility and danger of using stimulants? Are you longing for a gemine, trustworthy fool-tone of proveli merit? Then you thoroughly. should at once obtain a supply of Sinalogen and so lay the foundation for better, health, strength and happiness. I cau be obtained in Hong Kong from Messrs, A. S. Watson & Co.
