The Graphic's Weekly London Letter

Berlin, Oct. 26.--It may be said without exaggeration that aside from political questions domestic and for |eign, noth ng occupies the minds of EGermans so much as the question of now to beat the American athletes, Who are to be sent over here for the Berlin Olympic games in 1916. The date may seem very far off yet, but the German people recognize very well that if they want to see thir hopes fulfilled they must begin look lng for the proper men now and begin giving them the proper training as soon as they are found.
 No man is more anxious than the Kaiser to see German athletes carry on she laurels and it is due to his personal initiative that his friend the Former Min ster of State von Podbiel- ski, has placed himself at the head Oi the athletic movement. The Ber- m stadium will in architectural
 beauty and up-to-date dateness on
 very peint surpass even that of o.ocKhalm, which was so greatly

 As a sign of the interest which he takes in the movement towards Germany world supremacy in athletic games, the Kaiser has decided that big national athletic tournament is to be the hub of the celebrations of his jubilee next year, at which he will personally act as judge and place the laurels on the brows of the various champions.
 The many blunders made by the national Swedish Olympic Committee at Stockholm this summer have re- suited in a change in the organizing of the games in the. future and d joint committee in which all compet- ing nations will be represented, Will have charge of the arrangement of the Berlin games.

fact that musical artists have realiz- ed tfis, has resulted in making Ber- lin the musical center of the world.
 At present we have on an average about twenty concerts here day and more than half of these are given by artists anxious to cross the Att lantic for an American tour, for the success of which the Barlin stamp of musical merit is considered absolute ly necessary. What surprises the Berliners most is the rapidly increas- ing influx of American born artist many of whom have created quite sensation for until recently Germans were in the habit of believing that Americans possessed no more gift for music than do the people of England.
 Very seldom the Kaiser, when at home, reveals any of the more perso- nal sides of his character, which, aside from reveleations made by oc- casional violent outbursts remain a mystery even to those nearest ti him; but when abroard he becomes an en- tirely different person and opens his heart with the greatest grankness to anybody to whom he takes liking.
 During his recent visit to Switzer- land the Kaiser has always been thought to be a strong believer in the Kaiser has always been thought to be a strong believer in the necessity of dogmas for the church, while in his talks with the Swiss professor he condemns dogmas altogether.
 Evidently the Kaiser explained very fully and in an animated manner his religious position. He did not, he said, live among dogmas and confess sions of faith but in the Bible, and when serious situations arose he tried to imagine what Christ would say or do in such a case. Pastors his Majesty considered, should not be bound down to a literal confess sions of faith, though he was of opin- ion that the Church needed fixed forms, for without them there would be confusion everywhere.
 The Kaiser concluded by expressing the opinion that pastors should preach no dogmas, but present their con- science to Christ and the treasures o1 the Bible to their hearers.

\; Having little business in one of the federal offices of the city, after it was finished l fell in conversation with the official in charge concerning Pe- runa, 1 mention his business to show that the conversation was conducted with a man of more than ordinary in- telligence, being a employe of the gov ernnent who had passed through sev- eral civil service examinations. He said to rne, not knowing who l was:
 "I think a great deal of this patent medicine business ought to be stopped
 Especially such remedies as Peruna
 Feruna, as you know, is stimulant and contains eighteen or twenty per cent of alcohol. People take it without knowing what it is, and such remedies ought to be prohibited by law. My own mother took Peruna once. She had a cough, night sweats, was growing aemaciated and weak. Several doctors examined her. The opinion was ex- pressed several times that she was going into consumption. One thought 1t was chronic bronchitis. At any rate, her condition was quite serious She was unable to get any relief from the doc tors she consulted, although she took tnelr medlclneS IalunIully TOT nearly year. Some one told her about Peruna, and against my wish and against the wishes of our family, she began taking 1t. At once she improved, and in less than six months she apparently was we'll. We did all we could to discour- age her in taking Peruna, but she per- sisted. It finally came out in the mag azines that Peruna contained alcohol
 Then we knew at once what 1t was (tthat benefited my mother, it was sim ply the alcohol that -Psruna contained We had the laugh on mother. We have mot leased to make fun of her yet about Eher being cured with a dilution of alco-

| Yes. l. suppose so.'
 Five per cent. would be one-twen- tleth. As each pint contains sixteen ounces you were then taking a little less than an ounce of alcohol before each meal" r-.
 .'Yes''
 But you objected to your mothers taking alcohol in the Peruna, and yet she was taking far less alcohol than you were. As l understand it, the dose of t'eruna is one tablespoonful. Supposing 1t to be twenty per cent. alcohol, there would be in each dose one-fifth of a tablespoonful of alcohol, which would De about half a teaspoonful, while you were taking at least four teaspoonfuls of alcohol in your bottle of beer And yet you objected to your mothers talk ing Peruna on the ground that the Pe- runa contains alcohol. In my opinion 1t was the alcohol that cured both of you Your mother evidently was cured of very serious ailment. Peruna con- tains alcohol. It was undoubtedly the alcohol that cured her, or at least helped to. The other ingredients of Peruna might have assisted, no doubt did. In your case it was the alcohol in the beer that cured you of the stom- ach difficulty. Peruna has cured thousands of such cases"
 "Well, I declare" he replied, "I never thought of it in that way before. There has been so much said about al- cohol being poisonous that I suppose
 my mind has been prejudiced against it. But if as you say there is also alcohol in beer, the same kind of alco- iS in where the difference is myself"
 Well" I replied, "you have been doing exactly what the average man and woman is doing. You have al- lowed your mind to become prejudiced aSalnSt Peruna on account of it's con- talnlng alcohol. Without stopping to look into the matter at all you have assumed that there is something terri ply dlsreputable about remedies con- taining alcohol. The fact is, however. that most all fluid medicines, whether prescribed by doctor or put up as patent medicine, contain a certain amount of alcohol. It was alcohol that cured your mother. It was alcohol that cured you. In my opinion, alcohol in some form or other is making more cures than all other drugs combined. This is not saying, however, that Pe- 1nna contains only alcohol, for it does contain excellent remedies besides al- cohol. But do contend that the alco- hol in Peruna is not only not harmful to those who take it, but if taken in the doses prescribed on the bottle lt will do great deal of good and there Is not the slightest danger of forming a drug habit" PERI7NA IS FOR SALE AT ALL DRUG STORES.

 ou say the doctors could mot cure her, and yet. you say Peruna did cure ler' what difference does it make to you whether it was alcohol or some other drug that effected the cure7"
 well, don't know that it makes any difference, but it is deceiving the people to give them alcohol even though it does cure them,'' he said.
 l replied. "Why, I cannot ex. actly un CTS tand that. Alcohol is drug, the same as qui- nine or morphin If alcohol cures certain diseases where is the deception ? 1 understand that the Peruna people print on the label of each bottle inc per cent. of alcohol contained in Peru ma. Each patient may read it, if he pleases. I cannot see where there is any deception.''
 Well, I would not take Peruna. :" he persisted. Now, I was sick, I had a stomach disease. A violent pain, that would come on about an hour or tv q after each meal. It grew worse and worse. l was also constipated I con- suited several doctors in our city about my health. 1 went to see a prominent specialist in New York City, paid out a great deal of money, but no help. One tlfne was having bad spell on the train. The gentleman who occupied the next seat was retired physician with whom l had been acquainted. He said to me, My friend, if you want to get we'll l would advise you to take glass of lager beer before each meal. I think that will cure you.' Having fol- lowed the directions of several good physicians without any assistance, thought I would try the beer. In a very short time ! found it vas helping me, and l got entirely well My bowels became regular and I had no more pain. No more distress after meals.
