THE GREATEST DOCTOR ON EARTH

Nature is the greatest doctor on earth. When she can't cure it because she needs aid. Now, some people have an idea that this is drugs, and when they are ill, or suffer from pain of any kind, the proceed to dope their stomachs with the stuff that is sold for medicine That doesn't help any; in fact it does a great deal of harm. The stu that you put into your stomach is poison, and poison weakens th nerves and organs of your body. What Nature needs is electricity

When your stomach, kidneys, liver, or digestive organs get out order, it is because they lack the necessary electricity to enable them perform their regular functions. The breaking down of one of thes organs nearly always causes other trouble. Nature can't cure them because your body hasn't enough electricity to do the work, so yo must assist Nature by restoring this electricity where it is needed. The Ajax" Dry-Cell Body Battery does this. It saturates th nerves with its glowing power, and these conduct the force to ever organ and tissue of your body, restoring health and giving strength "every part that is weak.

The "

Ajax" Battery is a pleasant relief from the old system drugging. It does by natural means what you expect drugs to do unnatural means. It removes the cause of disease, and after the caus has been removed, Nature will do the rest.

NEW METHOD OF LEARNING FRENCH

Latest Achievement of Pelman Institute

[graphic]

"Do you think that you could pick up a book of four hundred pages, written in a language with which you are unacquaintedsay Spanish or Italian-and containing no English words at all, and read that book through without having to refer once to a dictionary?"

"Of course I couldn't," you will reply; "such a thing is impossible."

Certainly it seems impossible. Yet this is just what the new method of learning Foreign languages by correspondence, introduced by the well-known Pelman Institute, now enables vou, or anyone else, to do.

The new Pelman method of Language Instruction is one of the most remarkable educational achievements of the century, and, in the opinion, of those who have examined and tested it, it is bound to revolutionize the normal methods of teaching languages in this and other countries.

The French Course is now ready and is described in a little book entitled "How to Learn French," which will be sent free to any reader of the National Review on application to the address given below.

Based on an entirely new principle, the Pelman method is simplicity itself, and the very first lesson of the French Course will amaze you. There is not a word of English in this lesson, yet you can read it with ease, and you could do so even if you didn't possess the slightest previous knowledge of French. It sounds almost incredible, but it is perfectly true.

No Translation.

By following this method you can learn French in about one-third the time usually required. When you have completed the French Course, you will be able to read any French book or newspaper, and to speak French more fluently than the average student can after learning it for years in the ordinary way. And-you-will-attain this proficiency without having to spend hours, days, and months studying complicated and dreary rules of grammar, or memorizing long vocabularies. There are no passages of French to be put into English, and no passages of English to be put into French. You learn the language in the natural way, just as you would if you were staying in France. This makes the study extremely interesting, so much so, that once you begin it you will go on until you have finished the Course. By that time you will have acquired a thorough mastery of the language. Write to-day for a free copy of "How to Learn French" to the Pelman Institute (Modern Languages Department), 63, Bloomsbury Mansions, Hart Street, London, W.C. 1.

be decided one way or the other-either in favour of Senator Harding, the Republican candidate, or his Democratic opponent, Governor Cox. We have no idea as to what Americans are lings being told concerning the attitude of the British people towards this hectic contest, but as a matter of fact there Japis no "attitude," for the simple reason that Englishmen Neware, speaking generally, too sensible to bother their heads about other people's business. No one can be heard to say that it matters a brass farthing to this country whether Colom the United States votes Republican or Democrat. We are disinterested spectators of a political conflict on which om Probably less turns than the contestants and their excitable Tsupporters imagine. The Republicans seem more confident of victory than the Democrats, and heavy odds are freely Leoffered on Senator Harding's prospects. On the other hand, Democrats claim that "an undercurrent" is developing in favour of Wilsonian policies, especially the League of Nations, of which Governor Cox is a standard-bearer, and for which he has become more enthusiastic as polling-day draws near. His victory would admittedly be a triumph for the League-indeed, its first considerable political success-though hardly for the Covenant as signed and sealed in Paris, because Governor Cox favours radical "" reservations which would so weaken it as to render much of its European propaganda meaningless. Nor does it follow, supposing he became President, that the next

Senate would ratify even the emasculated edition of the The Wilsonian League which he is. pledged to submit to tha vas body. On the other hand, Senator Harding's triumpat would give the quietus to the League so far as U.S.A.or concerned, though presumably the amour propre of Britis correspondents on the other side to say nothing of the League Press on this side-would minimize this feature dat the election. Those organs which refuse to look facts d the face and have, so to speak, "gone nap on the Covenant foolishly imagining that President Wilson was the Unite States and that whatever he said and did in Europe woul be enthusiastically endorsed by the American people, wil doubtless try and save face."

In the event of a Cox victory, British correspondents int U.S.A. will ignore the reservations and confine them selves to saying "I told you so." In case of a Harding victory, they will declare that although the Republican Party and the Republican President may be politically and officially against the League, nevertheless it has many powerfu friends in the Republican ranks, from ex-President Taff downwards, and that Senator Harding himself is not nearly so hostile as is generally supposed-" realizing, as he does that the days of America's splendid isolation' are over and, however strongly committed against the Wilsonian League, he is the last man to repudiate America's respon sibilities as a member of the family of nations, and is no less anxious than was his predecessor that his country should play a worthy part in some Association of civilized Powers formed to restrict armaments and to prevent war," etc The close of the Presidential contest, whatever the issue may therefore not improbably rekindle League propaganda which is not without its pathos, because the more British enthusiasm is displayed in the cause, the more effectually is it killed in the United States, for the reason frequently pointed out in these pages, viz. that the mass of Americans are preternaturally suspicious of any proposition coming from London when they are not actively antagonistic
