Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surface. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
not a quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years and is a regu-
lar prescription. 1t Is composed OF
the best tonics known. combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect

HUNGER FELT ny sLAv PRISON.
FRS IN DETENTION CAMPS, IT'S
SAID-RUSSIANS RE.
CEIVE NO AID

Boston, August Histories of suf-
fering and illness among Russian
prisoners in German detention camps,
said to be due to lack of food, were
told by c. Oberoutcheff, Secretary Of
"a Central Committee, organized in
Switzerland for relief Of Russian pris-
oners, in a statement given out here
today through Alice Stone Blackwell,
editor of the Woman's Magazine.
Information as to the condition of
the Russians came first through dele
gates to the International Red Cross
Commission, who had verified by per-
sonal talks with former prisoners, ac-
cording to Mr.. Oberoutcheff.
"The daily ration of the prisoners is
scanty," he said. "In the morning
they are given coffee without milk or
sugar, and 200 grams of potato bread
to last the entire day. At noon they
receive a small quantity of soup, some
vegetables and sometimes, but not
often, a piece of meat. Supper is much
the same. 1t is clear the prisoners
must go hungry.
"The English, French and Belgian
prisoners often receive supplies OF
food from their Governments, relief
societies, or relatives and friends, but
it is not so with the Russians.
Some Russian prisoners beg help,
not only of their own richer country
men, but of prisoners of other nation
alities. Many of these would be glad
to give it, but it is forbidden. The hun
cry Russians, however, take their soup
plates to the French and get their
leavings.
They sometimes even search the gar
.bage and devour everything they find
there that can possibly be eaten. We
have heard of this from England and
French prisoners who saw it, and |
have been told of 1t by the Russians
who have actually been obliged to
do It,"
OF 1000 or more prison camps in
Germany and Austria only about 100
are receiving help from relief com
mittees MFR. Oberoutcheff declares.

SERUM MADE FROM BLOOD PRE-.
EMINENT IN TREATMENT OF
PLAGUE VICTIMS

New York, August 27-Serum manu-
featured from human blood is pre-em-
inent in treatment of persons afflicted
with infantile paralysis, in the opinion
of DR.. Simon Flexener, Director Of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search, it became known tonight.
DR.. Flexener has recommended the
treatment to the members of the
American Medical Association, the lar
gest organized body of physicians in
the world
DR.. FleXeners views and the facts he
has adduced are embodied in an ar
ticle contributed to the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
The experimental evidence in favor
of this treatment shows that IL SER
UNI prepared from the blood Of mon
keys which have had the disease is in
jected into healthy monkeys, they
either cannot acquire infantile paraly-
sis when an effort is made to infect
them with it, or else. If they do con-
tract it, the severity of the ailment
is modified to the extent that the on
set of the inevitable paralysis is de-
layed Sometime the treatment ar
rests the paralysis In the midst of its
progress.
