syfups, sugars and delicate cookery so thu
the rule works Well both WAYS.
knowing that SO much depends on tn
succession of royalty. DR.. Schenk early de
clded that his best field would be in roya
me, where his instructions would be fol
lowed. so, since his reputation as a pra
tlcng Physician left little need for intro
dnction, he wrote to certain members of tn
royal family and solicited their patronage
with tine results already told
1t is said that the coming yoar will be tn
busiest one DR.. Schenk has ever known TO
he is at present. with an assistant, worllin,
IN the court of Russia. where the czar o
all the Russias longs for an heir. TIL,
throne OF Russia has at present no nal,
helr to sucteied to the throne although
there are two little daughters. one boon in
1898 and on9 in 1897. gracing the court
Neither one can rule. for in Russia the
Sale law is In full force and there is I'm
doubted anxiety in the court. The Roman
o1s are practically full blooded Germans,
but the Russians would hate TO see a Ger
man upon the throne Of Russia, and they
look to the succession 10 prevent this.
1t Is an open secret in Russia that the
czarna. who was the Princess Alix of
Hesse, has placed herself under DR.. Schenk' s
suit
Another patient is the Princess Helene
of Naples, wife of the crown prince of Italy
Though married three years. she has no
heir, and her mOther-in-law Queen Mar
Eherita, Is most nXious ovsr the situation.
The throne Will pass 10 the boy of the Duke
of Acsta unless DR.. Sdhenk's assistant. who
Is now living in the Palace OF Italy, is sue
cessful In his dietary OF the rov,al table. The
reward in this case will be so substantial
and so royalty given that to refuse 1t would
be churlish.
1t is whispered in London that the Ouch
esq NJ MINI lhororph fnllouaino M, Jordon
fad, has been under the treatment of DR..
Schenk during the last year. but this her
American relatives deny. London society
gossips whisper, however. that 1t Is true.
AT all events, there Is little Lord Ivor
Charles. who has Just been christened in
the royal chapel. and IL he IS a Schank boy
ii will be all the more honor for him.
Never royal wedding will take place
this year but Schenk consultation viii fol-
low. for the thrones OF Europe are UNDER
going great changes after half century OF
peaceful ownership. and the closing of the
century is seeing great turmoil.
Queen Victoria places little faith In DR.,
Schenk and his treatment. for she is TOO
old to take uD so new tangled fad, but
the Princess of Wales is aulta enthusiastic
over Ii and advises her friends TO see him.
II is said Lady Curzon is extremely sorry
that she did not consult the great special
ist but this Is also denied by her American
friSnds, who say that she is too American
TO prefer u son to a daughter even though
a title may depend upon the former. Were
this popular woman and celebrated beauty
to become Schenk patient, 1t would be the
greatest feather that could stick in the
doctors cap.
DR.. Schenk began life in humble way
as a German physician. He CHOSE for his
field Vienna, which is the home of medical
discovery and progress. In Germany there
is n field for medical and scicntihc re-
SEARCH which Is not found In any other
country The people are positively enthu-
siastic over medicine and they willingly
offer themselves to be experimented upon.
This will be corroborated bv any physician
who has studied IN this country.
DR.. Schenk soon made o Gooi living by
a'general practice and married into good
Vienna family, He established himself in
Vienna society and became one Of the well
known doctors Of Europe.
The royal English physician Is the busiest
man In Europe. for he makes twenty calls
o day. Twenty hours out OF tho twenty
four he receives bulletins from her majes-
tvs household. and he never knows what 1t
Is to take vacation. But even he viii live
life OF lsdsure compared With the busy
year TO be enjoyed by DR.. Schenk and his
assistants.
