Teheran would undoubtedly have been
emfnently successful had It not been
for the intrigues Of British and Russian
influences, which made 1t impossible for
him to proceed on the basis Of genuine
Persian independence. In consequence
of Russia's determined protest, the Per-
sian government last January dismissed
Mr.. Shuster from his post as treasurer
try by way Of London. in which city
he was given remarkable reception
by those who regarded the British policy
in Persia unfavorably. Mr.. Shuster has
delivered a number Of lectures on his
experiences in Persia and the circum-
| stances leading up to his appointment
and his expulsion. Now appears a
volume in which the story Of "The
Strangling Of Persia" is given wildly
and effectively. which should be read
by all who have been interested in any
degree in the treatment Of Persia by
the larger powers. Mr.. Shuster makes
an exceedingly strong case against Eng
land and Russia, showing that these
to the partition Of Persia II that country
did not yield to their demands for con-
cessions and privileges Specifically, the
Anglo Russian agreement was apparent
chopping block Of international politics.
Two causes Immediately operated to aid
to the expulsion Of Mr.. Shuster as
treasurer general, Russia's protest
against the appointment or MAJ. Stokes
as commander Of the treasury gem
darmerie. which Mr. Shuster had organ
lied. and the attempt to confiscate the
property of the ex-Shah's brother, who
had undertaken to seize the Persian
throne for himself. In the course Of
this narrative the modern history Of
Persia is graphically sketched Mr..
Shuster makes a strong plea to the
world against the suppression and ex-
ploitation of the brave people who have
been hitherto misruled, and who should
be given the opportunity. under good
government, to progress and develop
His work will result in a wider under
standing of Persian conditions, and will
be read with especial interest here in
Washington, which is his home city.
SURGERY AND SOCIETY,", a Tribute
to Listerism. BY c. W. Saleeby,

formerly resident physician Royal
Infirmary and resident surgeon

What this author calls Listerism is
antiseptic and anesthetfc surgery-in
other words. surgery that is painless
and at the same time in large measure
devoid of the old danger of what is
generally called blood poisoning.
Listerism signifies the discovery Of
methods of dulling the nerve centers
so that the body can be operated upon

Lord Listers contribution to society

along to great success DR.. Saleeby
notes the tremendous uprising of criti-
outcries Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and the
accusations Of barbarism brought
against those who are endeavoring to
save and prolong human life. His
work proceeds through various phases
Of surgical developments and without
undue optimism expresses high hopes
for the future. It is a valuable review
Of a scientific development scarcely
appreciated by the untechnical.

One of his most devoted friends in this
country was the late r. d. Millet AS an
