~
Vienna. Jan. 20.-"The net result
of the British and Russian action in
Persia renders Il nation. which was
making progress toward peace and
order. and was building up its tinanc-
cs for the establishment Of consti-
tutional government. Il land OF chaos
and anarchy, without prestige among
its own people and. in addition. has
meant the sacrifice of hundreds OF
innocent lives
This statement was made today by
w. Morgan ShuSter. the American
who was dismissed as treasurer-gcn-
eral of Persia recently. and who has
just arrived here.
The Mohammcdan people. Ii"
continued ARE further aroused
against the Christian nations. Great
Britain and Russia. far from being
on a more solid basis Of friendship,
are now face 10 face on opposite sides
Of disorganized territory.
The Russian and British legations
are the real governing forces in Per
sia. They are acting through - di-
rectory OF seven Persians. in order
TO avoid international complications.
On, morally. they are responsible for
the destruction OF Persian nation
alityalitv. when it gave promise of
establishing Il stable constitutional
government.
The seven men who are nominal
" governing Persia are without char
acter or reputation. They do not
command the slightest respect of
their countrymen. and would not eX-
ist a day without the projection of
the British and Russian legations.
Russian forces and influences are
steadily advancing southwards and
unless there is a break in the pres
en-; tread of events the realization of
Russia's dream of warm water port
is Il matter Of only few years.
Great Britain will then be con-
fronted with living Russo-lnGi&a

"The past years action of the Eu-
ropean nations in Morocco. Trlpoli
and Persia does not encourage the
hope Of international peace. The fact
that the MohammedanS have been
driven 10 the wall renders future re-
taliation inevitable. The mo$t re-
grettable feature Of Persia's diSlncm-
berment is the fact that it might have
been prevented had Great Britain
frankly objected at the beginning OF
Russia's fragrant violation OF the An
glo- Russian agreement. commencing
with her claim last summer OF the
right to veto appointments OF Persian
officials. and eliminating in the dis

In 1860 I was practicing medicine in
Millersville, Pennsylvania, a thriving
farming community. A prominent
citizen of that locality called at my
office one day in a very feeble condi-
ton. SO much so he had to be assist
ed in alighting from his wagon.
1 found on questioning him that he
had been afflicted for about two years.
He had consulted various doctors,
among them a specialist from Philadel-
phia They pronounced his disease to
be Bright's disease of the kidneys. He
was gradually failing in strength, los
ing flesh rapidly, and altogether pre-
scented a very pitiable spectacle, the
remnant of a, once strong and happy
man.
1 had been treating a neighbor of
his successfully. This neighbor had
highly recommended me and thus 1t
was he had come to me.
He told me that the doctors had
practically given up his case as hope
less and he felt free to consult any
other physician. 1 hesitated to take
the case. as 1 felt sure could not dc
anything more than the other ply
sicians had done. 1 told him so, yet he
insisted upon my prescribing. 1 was

lege at Philadelphia, and as one of the
consulting physicians had been n pro-
fessor in that college it seemed to me
quite unlikely that l would be able to
do any more than had been done, but
prescribed what seemed to be the best
thing under the circumstances.
He went away and in q week he re.
turned saying he was no better, that he
was still losing ground. He judged
that he had taken the same medicine
before. No doubt he had But he
wished me to prescribe again. did so.
This went on for about two months,
the patient failing all the time, and l
was becoming thoroughly discouraged
with the case.
One day the patient said to me,
Doctor, why don't you give me the
medicine you gave my neighbor? We
all thought he would die, but your
medicine cured him. This was why l
came to you. Why not give me the
same medicine you gave him?"
But" L said, your neighbor did not
have kidney disease. 1t was a bowel
complaint that 1 prescribed for in his
| case. 1 remember 1 gave him the
| Neutrali2inG Mixture that / make a
great deal Of use of in bowel dis
cases."
"Well, want some of the same
medicine you gave him. 1t worked
wonders with him and I believe it
will with me"
But" 1 said, "this Is not a medi-
cine for kidney disease"
WELL since you seem to be like the
rest Of the doctors, you cannot help
me, why not try the medicine that
helped my neighbour"
After some hesitation 1 concluded to
give him a bottle of it. In ten days
he returned. He at once began to be-
rate me in no complimentary words
saying:
You knew very we'll this medicine
would help me. You held it back
merely to get more fees for treating
me. From the first the medicine has
helped me and have made rapid i'm
provement If l could have had this
medicine a year ago I should have
been saved a great deal of expense
and loss of time"
1 replied that I was glad the medi.
cine had helped him. 1 was somewha
confused by his brusque manner ant
rough speech. 1 gave him another bot
tie of medicine. Did not see him agar
for about three weeks. once more HI

called at my office for another bottle
OF medicine, which was his last call.
a month or so afterwards a neighbor
of his called and got a bottle of the
same medicine, saying that my patient
was practically a we'll man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
I had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was q remedy that [
had used before only for bowel dis
eases. The same remedy that has since
been sold under the name of Peruna-
1 could not quite understand how 1t
was that Peruna should operate so
lbenefcially in such seemingly different
diseases. I had not yet grasped the
correct philosophy of disease. 1 did
not then clearly comprehend that
catarrh may affect the kidneys as well
as the bowels. Nothing of that sort
was taught in the books in those days.
It took me years before 1 clearly COM
pretended that catarrh was disease
liable to attack any organ of the body.
Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
line every organ, duct and cavity in
the body. Thus it il catarrh may set
tie anywhere where there is q mucous
membrane.
Peruna is my remedy for all these
cases. 1 insist upon it, however, that
Peruna is not cure-all. l use 1t for
just one disease, catarrh. But as
catarrh is liable to affect so many diff
ferent places, disturb so many differ
ent functions, derange so many differ
ent organs, it does seem to many peo-
pie as If 1 regarded Peruna as a cure
| all.
| The above narrative is simply one Of
the many cases in my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy of Peruna in such
variety Of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case Of kid
ney disease is catarrh of the kidneys.
All cases of Bright's disease begin
with catarrh of the kidneys. This
being true, and it also being true that
Peruna is q catarrh remedy, it follows
that great many cases of kidney
disease would be benefited by Peruna
