WaterIoaqed Servians

An Englishwoman travelling in Ser
via thus gives striking glimpse Of
her own prejudices and tastes. The
Servians drink too much cold water,
and they drink 1t till they are pulpy.
An average Serb drinks enough cold
water for an English COW. l doubt
whether the language contains an
equivalent for bad training for when
tried to explain the idea 1t created
surprise. A doctor told me he had
never heard the theory before. To him
it seemed a natural and wholesome
habit Moreover. he added. there Is
plenty and seemed to think 1t was
rather wasteful to leave any unswal-
lowed. To me II explained the lack
of activity. The nation is waterlog-
ged. All day long and every day the
Serb calls for a glass OF cold water.
and when he has drunk 1t he calls for
another. Perhaps owing to this he
has little space for alcohol. At any
rate. never saw a drunken man, even
among the peasants"

OF course doctors disagree about
Peruna, the same as they do on all
other subjects. II is generally thought
that the doctors are unanimously op-
posed to Peruna. IL is well known that
Peruna has cured a great many cases
after doctors have given them up.
This would naturally excite animosity
or jealousy on the part Of the doctors.
Then II is a fact that the average doc
tor is opposed TO ready-made medi-
cines Of all kinds. They know very
well II bottle OF medicine is sold at
the drug store that means that some
doctor loses a prescription and per-
haps patient. So they are generally
opposed TO patent medicines, or ready
made medicines as they call them.
But ever since Peruna has been sold
! have known OF many doctors who
are in favor OF Peruna. Some OF them
believe in II secretly, others openly.
All this time ] have been receiving
letters from regular practlcing physi-
clans Offering 10 send me testimonials

] would pay them for doing so.
Il is nothing unusual that a doctor
should expect pay for such a service.

journals. used by the doctors only, are
