TURKEY.

At the time of the Armenian massacres the International Committee received an appeal from the College of Tarsus for Red Cross assistance for the victims. The Committee telegraphed to the Committee of Constantinople, asking it to render immediate aid. The latter replied by telegraph that owing to the lack of personnel, and because of conditions in Constantinople, it was unable to respond to this appeal. By letter it also expressed its regrets that it could not send aid to Adana, as its stores had been entirely exhausted during the Greco-Turkish war and not replenished. From its small funds it, however, appropriated $400 for the relief at Adana. The letter, which was signed by Fayk G. della Sudda, as President of the Red Crescent, told of the difficulties under the old government, which almost prohibited the society from raising any funds, but states that under the new government it hopes to make rapid progress.

Instantaneous

is the relief from the acute stinging pain of inflammations and eczematous eruptions about the mucocutaneous margins when Resinol Ointment is applied. And a permanent cure is effected by this remedy with greater facility in all skin affections where a local application is indicated than by any other method. As a dressing for Burns, Carbuncles, etc., there is nothing approaches it.

Resinol Soap is the greatest adjunct to the Ointment, and renders the necessary bathing of the parts an aid to the cure, where the ordinary application of water and other soaps usually increases the trouble.

A HEALTH RESORT

WASHINGTON SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST SANITARIUM, TAKOMA PARK, D. C.

The first Sanitarium established by Seventh-Day Adventists was at Battle Creek, in 1866. Since then institutions have been started in many places. At present nearly sixty exist in various parts of the world.

Washington is known as “The City Beautiful.” Much has been written of the many beautiful and historic spots around Washington, but one which is a revelation to all who visit it is the new Washington Sanitarium, located at Takoma Park, on an elevation of 300 feet. The Washington Sanitarium has only been in operation a little over a year. It already has a splendid patronage; it is undoubtedly destined to become well known not only for its beauty and delightful surroundings, but as a health resort. During the fall and winter the climate is almost ideal; the summer climate is good—no mosquitoes or other pests are to be found.

A Branch Sanitarium is conducted at Nos. 1 and 2 Iowa Circle. The Branch Sanitarium has recently been overhauled, and extensive alterations have been made. The surroundings of this health-home are also attractive and restful. Both institutions are thoroughly scientific, and employ the most modern methods in the treatment of patients.

Massage, electricity in its various forms, baths of all descriptions, and special dieting are the agencies chiefly depended upon.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the business of the Company has steadily grown from year to year, and, while the shareholders have received a fair return on the capital invested, the directors have always borne in mind that their first duty was protection to the depositors, which they have accomplished by adding over four million dollars, making a guarantee fund to its clients, including shareholder’s liability, of EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS, a record shown by few banking corporations in the United States.

This statement does not include our Trust Department, the securities of which, under the law, are kept entirely separate and distinct from the assets of the Company, and our relations being of a confidential nature, no published statements are made. The growth has, however, been much greater than the above.

TOILET AND HYGIENIC
ANTISEPTICS

After having tried the various remedial agents for this purpose as a necessity to the toilet of your patients’ hygiene with unsatisfactory success, we would suggest that you recommend a twenty-five cent box of Tyree’s Antiseptic Powder, a preparation which both science and practice has demonstrated time and again to be of unfailing value in the treatment of diseases peculiar to the genital organs, in both male and female, as well as dermatologic practice. Prickly Heat, Ulcers, Poison Oak, Tender Feet, Offensive Perspiration, etc. It neither pains or stains. Is odorless and economical, consequently can be used by persons of moderate means, without the all-pervading tell-tale odor of Carbolic Iodoform, and such objectionable preparations.

Our little booklet containing its composition and how to use it will tell you more about it. Free upon application. Specify Tyree’s. Take no other but TYREE’S.
