The White Races. Not Holding

Their Own.

One wonders how many of the people in England who discuss South Africa over attempt to pict ure for a moment the future of the vast sub-continent. -

The accepted ides seems to bo that the country will develop very much upon the lines of Australia and Canada. The assumption is that the white population in South Africa will steadily de- volop into a Daughter Nation, thus strengthening the Empire.

South Africa are not holding their own to-day. They are falling back. It is a tendency which noro usual ly becomes more rapid the longer it lasts

1 Whites, Losing" Ground.

The whites are losing ground. boonuse the whole history of white colonisation in South Africa has béon a record of a fatuous attempt to build up a white nation upon basis of coloured labour.

“And you must

take Sanatogen regularly for several weeks'

This urgent advice is given by physicians every day; in every elvilised country, to sufferers from Nervous Debility, Brain-fag, Lack of Vitality, Sleeplessness, Disorderail Digestion, Poverty of Blood and various Wasting Disenses.

Physicians know that Sanatogen is a true scientific, compound of organie, phosphorus and pure, concen- trated proteid, forming a new.substance which eagerly and completely absorbed by the tissues and possesses quique toni: and reconstructive qualities.

The Supreme Restorative.

Physicians can speak from experience of the great recuperative effects which Sanatogen has upon the brain, nerves, blood and muscles. They have watched Its revivifying action upon people whose nervous strength has been depleted by over-work, worry or disease. They have noted how Sapatogen gives.... fasting benefit, how it regenerates the appetite and digestion, brings back the bloom to the cheek, replaces wakeful nights, by sound refreshing sleep- in short, enables the human machinery to perform its functions so perfectly that the patient loses his depression of spirits, gains confidence and courage,. and finds life again worth living,

Fighting Malaria and Dysentery.

Apart from its yalycas a general tonio, Sanato gen is of the greatest service to the physician in fighting Malaria, Dysentery and other scourges of tropical climates.

On this subject, Dr. H. H. W. H., of Babun garah, United Provinces, writes;—"I have much pleasure in certifying to the value of Sanatogen in cases of Dysentery, Enteric *** Ferer and other exhausting diseases, 1 have used it regularly in my practice for the past two years, and in no single instance have I been disappointed with its results. I can honestly affirm that many of my worst cases owe their recovery to Sanatogen."

Try Sanatogen To-day,

At the head offices of the manufacturers of Sanatogen there are fled more than fourteen thousand letters from practising, physicians who certify to the value of Sauntogen. Truly a magnificent monument to the value of this unique tonic-food i

But no less impressive is the enthusiastic testimony of patients themselves. Thousands of well-known people in every walk of life have publicly testified to the wonderful benefits they have received from Sanatogen, and a few of their letters are reproduced here.
