The Science OF Re ieving Pain by Manipu
lstIon OF the Muscular Tract

This is an old system of treatment
for inflammation. How quickly we rub
the member injured by blow, sure
evidence that MASSAGE is efficient In
a small way to reduce Inflammation.
How much more quickly 1t can be done

ternally and externally. In colds, sore
throat or Group, external rubbing and
the proper amount OF Johnson's

Sprains, bruises and all surface in
Examinations should be literally satu-

PARIS. Jan. 3l.-1he international
commission inquirng into the North
sea incident here heard two Swedish
witnesses. Captain Johnson and Mate
Stromberg of the cargo boat Aldeba-

They testified that few hours pre-
ceding the firing on the British trawlers
by the Russian squadron their boat
was attacked in the North sea by a
strange warship, which fired many
shots at the Aldebaran, but did not do
her serious damage.
Counsel for Russia protested that
this testimony was not directly CON
nected with the North sea incident, but
Admiral Fourier France, president
OF the commission, ruled that the testi-
mony was admissible.
Hugh O'Belrne. British agent, said
the strange vessel was the Russian
transport Kamchatka, which mistook
the Swedish craft for torpedo boat.

kURoPATKlN REPULsED.
Oku's Troops Drove Russians Across
the Hun with Heavy Loss.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-Advices from st.
Petersburg say that General Kuropat-
kin's attempt to break through the
Japanese left wing and outfiank Field
Marshal Oyama's position on the Shak-
he river seems to have failed entirely.
Field Marshal Oyama, as at the battle
of the Shakhe river appears to have
answered the Russian advance with a
counter offensive movement, but no
great disposition was shown to carry
the war far into the territory held by
the Russians.
A report from Oku's headquarters
says that two divisions Of Japanese
troops attacked Pehowski and drove
four divisions Of the Russians across
the Hun river. Six hundred Russians
were captured.
The Russians are making stand
across the river.
One Russian division made several
attacks on Santanpu to the east, but
was driven back with loss of over
1000.
The japanese bombarded the entire
Russian line. The Russians replied
feebly, showing little activity.
The casualties during the fighting
at Chenchiehpao and Heikoutai are es-
timated at 5000 on the side Of the
Japanese and 10000 on the Russian
| side.
Russian activity on the Shakhe river
seems to have ceased after these two
fights where the Japanese were VIC
| torious.
The object Of the operations is not
clearly understood, but it is suggested
that the Russians either intended to
turn the Japanese left and move a
heavy force down west of the Lilac
river or were seeking to divert atten
ton from some projected operation
against the Japanese right.
