I hear of Dr. Blake's remarkable military hospital in Paris, of American surgeons hy the dozen going to France, of American ambulance services doing a hing business, of various ficld hos- ‘tals organized and supported by Amer- ican rich ladies, and you doing nothing to hinder. If I understand your view of surgeons nd doctors, expounded these thirty-odd years, it is that they are enemies of the human race who trade on the credulity of men, cut them up for the fun of it, and snatch a fearful profit from human extremity, Feeling so about them, why don't you raise your voice to save the afflicted Europeans, and especially your good friends the French, from this on- slaught of American surgeons? With such a war on their hands, haven't they trouble enough ? Now is the time for you to do some- thing. Surely you must feel that if the American surgeons are allowed to finish what the German Kultur had begun, there will be no Frenchmen left to save. Yours reproachfully, Epwaro S. Marrix, New Yorx, November 8, 1914. Lire has in the past—and may in the future—criticize surgeons for their cruelty to animals, their unnecessary operations and their excessive charges, But it never has—and will not in the future—deny their good work.

It is in this care of the nerves that Sanatogen is of such signal service.

And by thus nourishing the weakened nerve-cells and tissues, Sanatogen helps bring back the case of digestion, the restful slumber and the vigorous health of youth, And you—if the enthusiastic letters of 21,000 physicians and the grateful praise of scores of noted people—if that testimony means anything—you will not long delay giving Sanatogen its opportunity to help you.
