Dr. Eberle and DR.. Braithwaite as
well as DR.. Simon-all distinguished
Authors agree that whatever may
be the disease, the urine seldom fails
in furnishing US with a clue to the
principles upon which it is TO be
treated, and accurate knowledge con-
corning the nature of disease can thus
be obtained. If backache, scalding
urine or frequent urination bother or
distress you, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, govt or
sciatica or you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble just write DR.. Pierce at
the Surgical institute, Buffalo, N. Y;

medical advice after DR.. Pierce's

pea,inc the offence. there would never
have been a repetition OF the offence.
Certain foolish paclhcists at home
would undoubtedly have been lacka-
daiscal over the action, but II would
have saved hundreds Of lives. II. when
the lives Of our men. women and chill
dren we're in jeopardy az Tampico, the
American feet had been directed m
stantly 70 protect them and 70 hold any
aggressors in summary fashion TO ac-
count, instead Of doing as was actually
done. that is, having our vessels 20
steam away and leave British and Ger
man warships 20 do the duty we had
failed 10 perform; II, | say. such ac-
ton had been taken az Tampico and
had been followed By similar action as
regards Vera CTuZ-in othe- words, rad
been made a precedent for consistent
course-we should have escaped all OF
these troubles.
AT the time that we favored Villa.
we permitted the export o. arms and
munitions to him; and these arms and
munitions have been used TO kill our
own people. Then, when we preferred
the CarranZistas against Villa, we did
the same thing with them and within
the last few weeks at times the Car
ranzistas. who were our nominal allies,
Joined with the Nillistas in attacks
upon our men. which cost the loss Of
gallant lives wearing the Uniform OF
tho United States. And after years OF
these experiences in Mexico and re-
peated killings of our own people in
our own territory along the border, our
unpreparedness is such that this
mighty nation has not been able 20
grapple efficiently with the situation
created by the raid Of bandit chief,
who had been beaten by his fellow
bandit chiefs when they Guarrelled
among themselves.
Immediate action at the outset and
prepa ration would in all human prob
ability have sverted trouble. In any
event. such action and such prepars
ton could not possibly have produced
more trouble than has been produced
in Mexico by the policy this nation
has actually pursued. So il is as re-
CARDS Germany.

for fourteen months our action showed
that we did not mean what we SAID,
and strict accountability turned into
fourteen months Of conversation on
our part Now. compare this with
what I have said 20 you about our
conduct that led up 20 the War OF Isl?
and about the attitude Of China and
the results OF that attitude.
when we made that declaration we
should have understood exactly what
it meant and the obligation IL imposed
upon US. Il was a declaration so seri-
Gus that mere severance OF diplomatic
relations would have hardly made II
GOOD. and. OF course. . could only be
justified by immediate and thorough 70
going preparedness on our part. Yet
for fourteen months after making that
declaration. and with. during those
fourteen months, outrage after out
rage committed against us, OF which
the outrage as regards the Lusltanla
WAS merely the most conspicuous, we
have not prepared in any shape or way
20 make good our words. And now
We find that the lack of preparedness,
the lack of decision and fortitude on
our part, have resulted. not as our
nacifst friends insisted. IN increasing
The likelihood of peace. but in bringing
US TO the verge Of the .rayest possible
crisis.
az we get peace now. it will be proof
nositive that firm decision fourteen
months ago would have saved the lives
OF many thousands of non-combatants,
including many hundreds of women
and children who have perished on the
high seas. because our actions rightly
made other nations believe that we
did not mean what we said.
