Fine British Gunnery South of Mons.
London, Aug, 26-The British forces were engaged in fighting southward of Mone where the bat- tle was largely an Artillery engage- ment. The German fire was badly directed. The English gunnere, whose batteries were posted on heights near the Oity, fired with great accuracy, doing great execution. Eye-witnesses pay a warm tribue to the skill and steadiness of the British troops and to their splendid musketry practice. They repulsed six turions attacks magnificent ly, leaving the bodies beaped that they hampered the Algerians' bayonet charge,

SZNATOGEN
In the Great Heat you need
SANATOGEN
To keep you Healthy and Vigorous.
We Europeans, after all, were 'not' born ta' cudure great heat; Nature did not imend us to live in such hot climates.
+
That is why we all suffer so much at this time of the year-why we feel kingaid, depressed, a irritable, and so easily fall victims to illness. Aud that is why our bodies need specially in- vigorating just now, to enable us to support the abeormal strain and to resist the attacks of disease.
الرسم
There is nothing better for this purpose than a course of Sauntogen. Taken regularly, thrice daily, for a few weeks, it will produce a remark- able improvement in your general health, an especially in the health of your nervous system. You will be better able to endure the heat, and to work with, energy; your appetite and digestion will improve; you will sleep soundly even on the bottest nights, and you will get rid of that "nervey," irritable feeling which is so distressing to oneself and others.
Sir H, Hesketh Bell. K.C...G..
Governor and Com mander Chief of the Leeward Islands, writes: For a mat doing hard mental work in awenereating 1 pelimate, there is, a
cording to my experi- enee, no better invigor ater than Sanatogen."
Mr. Hax Pemberton, the well-known Novel- I have ist, writes: been taking Sanatogen since the beginning of the year, and wouli not be without it udder any stances whatever."
Moreover, you will be much less liable to suffer from fevers, boils, liver affections, dysentery, and other stomach and bowel com- plaints, owing to the fact that Sanatogene greatly increases those vital elements, of the blood whose function it is to destroy attacking disense gerus..
Start Sanatogen To-day.
יוּ
Just try Sanatogen, and you will soon be as enthusi astic about it as are the writers of the accompanying. letters and many thousands of Europeans in the Rast who take Sanatogen as a matter of course, year by yeat, when the hot season sela ilij
Do not let your health be undermined by the heat a lay longer, but go to the nearest Chemist and bay à bottle of Sanatogen. One bottle will make a keen convert of you ↑ And drop usa post card, mentioning, this piper, for a Free Copy of "The Art of Living." - Address: A. Walßng and Co., 6, Kluking Roadly Shanghai.

The Hon. Mr. Justice Robertson, Judge of the Suprenie Court, Lahore, Punjab, arrites : ** My "experi ence with Sunatogen has been very favour able. I took it for some weeks during the most trying senson of the year, and found it great strengthener."
Sir Gilbert Parker, the popular Novelist, writes have used: Sanatogen with extra- ordinary bencßt, Jt is a une food - Louie, leeding the nerves, increasing the energy, and giving fresh vigour to the body and mind."
