THE GREAT MEDICINAL FOOD.
This Justly celebrated DIETETIC Preparation is
in composition, principally the GLUTEN derived
from the White Winter Flint Wheat Cereal, solid
extract the invention of an eminent chemist.
1t has not only been highly recommended, but
certified to by large number of CHEMISTS and
PHYSICIANS-representing very high degree of
medical scIence-as the
Safest, Most Acceptable and Reliable Food
Mothers lacking sufficient nourishment for their
offspring.
Unlike those preparations made from animal OF
vinous matter, which are liable to stimulate the
brain and irriae the digestive organs, it embraces
in its elementary composition
THAT WHICH MAKES STRONG BONE AND MUSCLE,
That which makes good Flesh and Blood.
That which is easy Of Digestion-nevel
That which is kind and friendly tC
the brain,
And that which acts preventive of those Intes

EVERY day Russia affords new demon
strations of a fixed purpose to make
war wI.h Turkey. Yesterday. we were
told she had closed her Black Sea ports
with torpedoes and warned away the in
habitants of that coast to the interior.
To-day. We are informed that a ukase
has been issued ordering that, after
January lst, customs dues shall be paid
in gold or in coupons negotiable
abroad This is evidently intended to
strengthen the credit of Russian bonds
i'll the Continental markets and thereby
prepare the way for new borrowings
Unfortunately. however. for the Imperial
exchequer. this device is an admission
Of doubt that the Government may
not be able TO pay its interest, inasniueh
as it is an express contriyanee TO give
currency to the interest coupons in that
very contingency. How such an adnis-
sion of the semi bankrupt condition of
the treasury can help Russia to borrow

ly, the Car desires it TO be understood
that war is foregone conclusion and
yet, as when governments 90 to war
they are not wont TO trumpet their in
tentions. there is room for a suspicion
that all this preliminary display of pur-
pose is designed in some measure for
diplomatic effect. The Car has been
very demonstratiye throughout in iuti
mating what he would do in case his
method of settling the Turkish question
was not accepted; and it seems but too
likely that he may be afforded an OPP
poriunity of comparing his ability wi h
his great threats
