Kipling's story "At The End of The Passage" gives a terrible picture of the nerve-exhaustion which frequently overtakes the European in hot climates during the present season of the year.
According to recent statistics 20.6 per cent, of Europeans in hot climates suffer from "'neurasthenia"' nerve-weakngse producing 8 marked loss of energy and will-power, the symptoms of which are described as follows by an eminent physician "An officer, otherwise in every way a good fellow, becomes short-tempered; forgets names; is troubled with sleeplessness; feels his work too much for him; shirks responsibility; procrastinates; is given to making molehills into mountains' and is susceptible on slight exertion (mental or physical) to great fatigue, with a loss of all powers of concentration."
Self-drugging, whether with stimulating "tonics" or sedative narcotics, is dangerous and futile. The nerve-food Sanatogen may, however, be taken freely with great advantage. It is quite harmless, and undoubtedly produces a marked increase in nerve-power.
To obtain lasting results the preparation must be taken for some obtained from the rich milk- bana of Cornwall, England, where the preparation is manufactured, and forming an ideal diet for use in hot climates. This is combined by uni que chemical processes with specially-adapted—nerve-nutrient. The nature of these processes has not been disclosed, but what differentiates the product from other foods of this type is the fact that ite ingredients are properly absorbed by the system. It may therefore be confidently recommended, firstly as a means of either preventing or overcoming various forms of nerve-weakness, and secondly aa a means of fortifying the system against malaria and the stomach and bowel-diseases which are likely to attack us when our vitality is lowered.
