Washington, Sept. II (AP) Score
tary Hull announced today the Unit

to Japan in protest against that ma
tons announced intention to bomb
Marking from the air.
Through Ambassador Joseph Grew
at Tokyo and Japanese Ambassador
Hirosi Saito in Washington, the State
Department conveyed to the Japa-
nese Foreign Office it's opposition to
the threatened aerial attack.
Hull said the. protest was based
chiefly on the ground the bombing OF
non-combatant populations was in. VIC
lation of international and humanita-
rian laws.
Moreover, he said the American gov
eminent protested against the threat
ened action because it might be cal
culated to interfere with normal re-
lations between this government and
China by endangering American gov
eminent diplomatic officials in China.

Most Important Therapeutic

REM. I make this selection, even
after having seen patients suffering
from myasthenia gravis trans
ferred from pergatory to paradise
by swallowing. at intervals of five
or six hours, 15-milligram tablets
of Prostigmin, because, fortunate
ly, the victims of that fell disease
are very limited in number and
therefore Prostigmin can benefit
only very small proportion of
mankind.
'Testosterone propionate and es-
trone dihydroxy benzoate prove
that man can combine substances
and produce agents Of greater po-
tency than those which occur in
nature. / doubt whether this new
preparation will fulfill the dreams
Of Brown Sequard and rejuvenate,
or even prevent, the devastating
effect of time upon the majority of
the tissues Of men. 1t seems prob
able, however, that it may delay

even if it fails to cause atrophy.
AS an aphrodisiac it is unlikely to
have any action other than that
produced by suggestion. 1t may,
however, supply the aged with
mental energy and change the
