A RABI6 ATTACK
Made by Cincinnati Doctor on

GAG LAW AND TYRANNY
He Says, Reign in the Army Medical
Department - Surgeon-GeneraI Un-
able to Fill the Many Vacancies in
the Army.

Marion, o., Dec. 11.-Dr. Charles A.
L. Reed OF Cincinnati, the retiring
president of the American Medical as
ISOLATION, was given a banquet here
last night by the medical profession
of northern Ohio. In the course Of
his remarks on pending congressional
topics, viewed from a medical stand
point, he said:

self, that the medical department has
not only been degraded. but that it Is
practically without authority. This
was strikingly, indeed tragically, IL
Illustrated during the recent war. A
commandant was in charge of a quar-
ter OF the entire army. His command
was made up of the flower of Ameri-
can manhood and was encamped at a
health resort. He, however, In viola.
ton Of the precedent of the usually
cultivated and competent gentlemen Of
the line, but acting under the permits
sion OF existing army regulations, not
only set aside recommendations of his
sanitary officers, but by personal ex-
ample melted his men to violate the
most fundamental sanitary laws. The
result was what might have been ex.
pected. OF the more than $4,000 men
in his command, $4,000 were invalided,
while nearly thousand died from pre-
ventable causes. The regulations,
however. am advised, fix no respon
sibility for this parallel calamity, the
enormity Of which is only beginning
to be understood. 1t is not surprising
that efforts have been made to sup
press knowledge of it. l am advised
that the army investigating commit
tee, in the interest of public decency,
omitted from it's public report much
testimony on this phase of the conduct
of the war. Officers in the service who
today agitate this unsavory subject
are banished to the Philippines. No
wonder the surgeon general cannot fill
the sixty and more vacancies now ex-
listing in his corps; self-respecting
medical men are not offering them
selves for a degraded service that is
dominated by gag law and tyranny"

ness which is not healthy. The utterly
worn out feeling experienced by so
many women is not due as a rule to
the physical exhaustion of labor but to
the draining away of the strength by
womanly diseases. Nervousness, head
ache, backache, and sleeplessness are
but few of the common results of such
a diseased condition. Yet thousands of
women suffer from wonanly diseases for
years and make little or no effort to
effect a cure. They treat womanly dis
ease as If it was purely local thing, and
only wake up to the disastrous effect of
the disease upon the general health,
when there is an utter break down, fol-
lowed perhaps by years of painful ill
ness.
HOW TO BE CURED.
Any woman suffering from womanly
disease can almost surely be cured by
the Use of DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-

cases (often when aggravated by neglect
or wrong treatment, and generally of a
serious and painful nature), by Abe use

cases the cure may be slower but it is

fringed.
Washington, April 12.-The legal pro-
ceedings at New Orleans to prevent the
Shipment of mules purchased in this
country to South Africa was the most
important matter discussed by the
cabinet today and the attorney general
was directed to make an investigation
of the question and report his opinion
to the cabiret. AS near as can be
learned the members of the cabinet
with legal training are of the opinion
that these proceedings are contrary to
the rights of the government. The view
expressed is5 that when neutrality pro-.
ceedirgs are inaugurated in the United
States courts they should be brouEh. III
the name of the United States, alleged
violation of neutrality being question
affecting nations. not individuals. More
over the proceedings in the New Or;
leans case is that of a man claiming to
he a resident of South Africa who con-
tends his interests are placed in jeop-
ardy. 1t is pointed out that If an indi-
vidual could go into the courts and se-
cure restraining orders on the grounds
htat the neutrality laws of the country
the such as to permit individuals to
.prins proceedings in the courts, con-
grests may be asked to pass such
amendments as will leave these ques-
ticns wholly in the hands of the govern
ment.
The president submitted 20 the cabi-
net a very gratifying cable from Secre-
tary Hunt, of Porto Rico, expressing
the satisfaction with which the news of
Governor Aliens continuation at the
head of the insular government had
been received there. The cable also de-

Washington April 12.-The various
ascribed to Minister Loomisl
at San Juan have attracted much att
tention here and the minister will
probably be invited to explain some of
his utterances, If he is not able to enter
a broad denial of the accuracy of the in
terviews. His reflections upon the per
sonal character of the president Of We
nezuela are not regarded as proper, ac-
cording to official etiquette, and 1T is
confidently hoped the minister will be
able to repudiate these. The rpevalent
idea is that no matter how these per-
sonal questions are settled, 1t will be a
long time before the United States min
lister resumes his post at Caracas.
