One of the most significant facts of modern life is
the rapid yet steady increase in the death rate from
nervous diseases. The feverish anxiety of the rich
to amass still greater wealth, the strain and worry
attending the constantly increasing competition and
diminishing profits of the tradesmen, the unhealthy
surroundings and bitter struggle of the poor to make
ends meet, all tend to produce an enfreebled and
depressed condition of the nervous system, which
reacting on the digestive organs lays the foundation
of many distressing and serious diseases, both
mental and physical.
Indeed, in the opinion of some of the most eminent
medical authorities, cancer, that dreaded disease
which claims more and more victims each year, is
dependent for its hold on the human body almost
entirely on depressed vital conditions such as in
evitably result from a breakdown of the digestive and
nervous systems.
It is no exaggeration to assert that fully one half
of the diseases which cripple and torture mankind
have their origin in some simple derangement of the
stomach, liver or kidneys, and might be avoided
altogether by a timely resort to the digestive tonic.

In a solemn declaration made at Rochdale before
Mr. J. H. Chadwick, a Commissioner for Oaths, on
April 16th, 1903, Mrs. Mary Jane Rylands, of 125,
Oldham Road, Rochdale, states that, following an
attack of influenza, she was for two years always
ailing. "My appetite failed,” she says, "and what-
ever I ate caused such pain that I became afraid to
eat at all. Sometimes the pain would be in my
stomach, at other times it would grip me in the back
or between the shoulders. I also suffered acutely
from headache and frequently was so dizzy that I
had to hold on to the furniture for support. My
heart palpitated to such an extent that I came to
think it was diseased. After two years of this misery
- had a most violent attack, and for six weeks lav in

eqr of terror on learning that the British Government
have taken possession of some island in the Per

sian Gulf.” M. Lomnitsky was greatly impres
sed with the dirtiness of everything in Persia,
beginning with Resht. It seems that horsemen
(usually on mules or donkeys) ride through the
streets in Persia with exactly our Indian cry of
"Khabarda!" (Look out!). The “pearls of the
East,” as the women are there called, are gen
erally mere shapeless bundles, walking circum-
spectly, with covered faces, close to the walls.
The typical Persian seems, to M. Lomnitsky, to
be a petty tradesman. “Thou hast no specula
tion in thine eye!” the traveller seems to say to
the native. “In vain would you seek in his eyes
a recollection of the past or a pre-occupation
with the future.” All Persians alike, “the pale
fanatic mullah, the shopman inhaling the odours
of his pipe, the sarbase (soldier) selling melons,
the sentinel before the Palace, the high function
ary upon his prancing thoroughbred—all give the
impression of having long been petrified in the
midst of a stagnant civilization.”
The minds of the people, concludes M. Lomnit
sky, have been befogged and benumbed by reli
gion and by old tradition, by an abject, yet often
blundering, slavery to what is thought to be the
letter of the Koran. Even in commerce, which
02snr
J SQ?OOd
P6 S2 put is the special aptitude of the Persians, it is to be
UF Jou noted that they lack genius. “ Persia knows
Od"p jo Sneither law nor tribunals, and the sole right
AEC Ainysswhich she practises is that of the strongest. Life
J1OE ougand property are guaranteed to no one.” Human
Cacr . life, like everything else in Persia, is reckoned
1.. d 9 I at its monetary value, and the assassin has but
5 Era 12 V to pay a given sum to the wife or to the relatives
sane, Y 98 of his victim. M. Lomnitsky was once floating
"0. ‘81 on a river, trying a favourite new rifle upon the
arond : par herons who were fishing for frogs among the reeds.
"II+ "One of his boatmen artlessly asked what fun
-19- PIES there could be in using so good a weapon against
‘Enoo t *i ~ birds ? " Aim rather at one of those men who are
: Kequo ,2 walking along the bank. The Saab is doubtless
‘aaa-I rich, be can kill whom he pleases, he will pay. . .”
T74 Later on, when M. Lomnitsky, discussing the
Shah and the politics of Teheran, remarks what
a pity it is that there are no laws in Persia, he is
rather unkindly pulled up by his European in
troducer, M. Relines : " No more is there any
law in Russia to limit the power of the Tsar, or
even to define it.”

whom he could bastinado or slay, pleaded all sorts
of absurd ailments, producing doctors’ certificates
to show why they must not smoke, until the
monoply had to be withdrawn. It is pleasant to
read elsewhere that M. Lomnitsky thinks that
half the clergy of Persia, the mullahs and the
mouchteides, ought to be hanged. For their own
purposes they have, in the last few generations,
deliberately increased the fanaticism of the
people, inventing the idiotic and reactionary
taboo expressed by “ pedgis " (“ ceremonially
defiled ”) and endeavouring to forbid all inter
course with Feringhis. Even a century or two
ago, as the accounts of many travellers show,
no such artificial barrier existed between Persians
and foreigners. Russians have more prestige in
Northern Persia than any other Europeans ; yet
even they have not what would be called prestige
in India. We confess to a liking for M.
Lomnitsky's Cossack, who once tumbled over a
dreadful precipice uninjured, hugging his master’s
cashbox close all the time. This worthy fellow
