Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause In the treatment of disease.

many failures, The skilled Specialist devotes

Ex-Consul Daugherty Gives the
Facts Regarding South American
British Aggression.
PEORIA, Ills, Jan. I'm a paper
read in this city last night A. j.
Daugherty, ex-consul at Csllao,
Peru, said England, by planting
her outposts at the mouth OF the
Orinoco river, aims at command
ing the great water way. which
would give her control Of the CON-
merce OF the region equal in ex-
tent to all the United States east
of the Mississippi river. 1t
was England which encour-
aged the pretentions of
Chile to Peru. 1t was England
who fomented the rebellion against
Balmaceda, whom Mr.. Dsugherty
pronounced the truest friend Of re-
ligious and civil liberty Chile ever
had, because he opposed the further
nitrate acquisitions by the English.
Mr.. Daugherty saw Englishmen in
streets Of Peru cheering and
drinking toasts to the sue
cess of the rebels When the
Chileans attacked the United
States marines, the English secuted
the idea that the United States
could cops with the Chilean army
and navy, and encouraged them to
offer insult to this country. The
United States have today the SUD-
port OF all South American repub-
lies except Chile. Mr.. Daugherty
declared that English intrigue
in South America will go to any
length short of war to destroy
United States influence there and
even partition up the whole of
South America among the
European powers IL she could but
secure their cooperation.
