No mystery about it. When the Shakers
offered some time ago to give away bottle
of their Digestive Cordial to any one who
might call at their New York office there
was great rush and a great many people
thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have been
q very clever advertising transaction for
although they gave away thousands Of
bottles, it was in the end profitable, nearly
every one that took a free bottle came back
for more and paid for it with pleasure, saw
ing they had derived better results from its
use than from any other medicine they had
ever used.
There Is nothing so uniformly successful
IN the treatment of stomach troubles as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, and what is
better than all, it relieves at once.

BACKED BY SULTAN.
Murderous Turks Boast of Their 1wfui
Slaughter of Armenians.


LONDON, Jan. 12.-The Speaker today
publishes the following from its Constan-
tinople correspondent: There is no doubt
about the essential facts of the Armenian
outrages The official reports from con-
suls at Van, Erzsroun, Siyas and Diarbe'
kir have not been published yet, but they
confirm the most horrible statements.
In addition To the reports of Armenians
and the Catholic and Protestant mission
aries i'm Sassoun, we have testimony OF
Turkish regulars who took part In the
outrages, and who, since their return, have
boasted freely In puIf.c places OF theii
deeds For instance, oso boastcd that ho
had ripped open 20 pregnant women, while
another declared that no took part in the
massacre OF girls and women In church,
their blood running in "a stream from be-
meath the door.
They state that such things are done
with the sultan's full approval. Hundreds
OF these statements agreed on the essen
tial points. The features of the situation,
which constitute the gravest possible dan
ger, is that these men were rewarded,
and Turkish officials everywhere under
stand that .he sultan will reward them
for similar treatment of the Armenians.
Alarming reports reached me from va
rious parts of Asia Minor and northern
Syria OF the aggressive activity of officials
against Christians. Even foreign resi-
dents are In great danger. II the powers
do anything they should act quickly. 1t
will be a fatal mistake II Europe is con
tented TO secure the right OF Armenians In
Armenia, and neglect the millions OF
Armenians outside the province.
