tue of herbs and admirable skill In
diagnosing by the pulse
The science of pulse ola gnosis Is highly
developed by the Chinese medical prac
titioners, and two years are allotted to
this subject In the curriculum OF the medi
cal student. symptomatc diagnosis. by
which the physician is able 10 prescribe
the proper medicines to patients living
at a distance and unab bio to appear for
personal examination, is also a subject OF
the most profound study. II is by this
means that the licensed medical director
who makes the announcement on this
page is able TO clearly diagnose and treat
patients by mail, sending them the proper
medicines.
That this method and treatment are
Of the greatest success Is proved by thou
sands OF testimonials on file from patients
all over the United States who have been
relieved of the most acute suffering and
cured OF diseases and complaints which
had been pronounced chronic or incura-
BILE. II seems that diseases and ailments
which have resisted the Skill OF American
doctors and the potency of our drugs and
prescriptions have disappeared before the
Chinese system Of treatment.
1t is pointed out that the efficacy OF the
herbs used In this practice has been
proven again and again through the cen
turtles In which. millions Of people have
been treated by this system. and that the
physiological action OF each Is q matter OF
definite knowledge
IT is. therefore. no proof that your COM
plalnt is chronic or incura Die because you
have found no relief In treatment at the

There is hope for even the most painfW

suffering from any ailment which seems

or suffering should write at once TO this
skilled hcrbalist, taking advantage of the
offer OF a trial treatment made on this

No minerals, chemicals or poisons OF
any kind enter into the Chinese phar-
macopoeia, The Nature remedies act
gently upon the organs. cleansing and
toning the weakened or disintegrating
tissues It is Natures own treatment of
disease and illness, and there are few
cases indeed which will not yield TO the
benefcent influence Of her own reme-
dies.
In the library of testimonials Of this
herballst hundreds are found from people
who have suffered for half a lifetime
from some complaint which treatment by
the European and American system OF
medicine has seemed to complicatc rather
than to alleviate, and which have been
ultimately cured by this Chinese herbalist
and his wonderful Cor rather naturaD
remedies In an effort to relieve stub
born cases these suffering people have
often used strong drugs and medicines
and submitted to unnecessary operations
which have made their cases almost in
curable
The Chinese system Of treatment Is
sometimes mistrusted and misunderstood
by ignorant or III informed people who
ina gine that these remedies are admin
istered indiscrlm!nately for every disease
or complaint sort Of "cure al" Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
These medicines are not nostrums or SO
called general family remedies" that can
be applied to every case of sickness.
1t stands to reason that medicine
used for indigestion would have no effect
in the cure OF rheumatism; one for
eczema would not relieve chronic cough
or epilepsy. When the patient writes 10

HUERTA IS CRUNPIING
WASHINGTON THINKS MEXICAN
GOV. DISINTEGRATING.
L. $ Has Made No Preparations for
Blockade of Mexican Sea-
ports.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 - The
Washington government believes the
power of the Huerta government is
slowly crumpling and disintegraung
No steps have been taken by the
administration here within the last
few days to compel compliance
with the demand for the elimination
OF Huerta.
No preparations have been made
for blockade of Mexican ports,
such as have been variously reported.
Foreign interests generally viii be
protected by the United States and
at TuXpam, in particular an effort
win be made to protect British prop
erty until the arrival of the English
ships
The landing OF marines has not
been found neseccary thus far and
no instructions to that effect have
been sent, nor has there been any
request for such instructions In the
meantime Admiral Fletcher will be
/ expected to take whatever steps he
deems necessary to protect all for
egn interests
The parleys with the constitution
alists have been carried on in no for
NAL way but merely for Information.
The administration, though not
condoning the inhumanity Of the
srmed strife generally in Mexico, is
! inclined to view with some compla-
cency the reprisals by constitution
allsts and federals on these officers
/ or men who have been deserting from
side to side.
The foregoing salient facts were
! obtained from those with whom
| President Wilson discussed the Mex
/ lean situation today.
The impression that the Huerta
government Is fast losing it's control
over territory 1t has hitherto DON'T
mated, is based on the dispatches TO
/ the state department which show
also that diplomatic pressure from
without is having much to do with
weakening the resources of the pro-
! visional government.
There was some emphasis in the
denial emanating from the White
House that any steps OF a summary
I character had been taken through in
structions to Charge 'Shaughnessy
within the last few days.
