AMERICANS TORTURE THE FILIPINOS.

THE TERRIBLE " WATER CUBE."

The San Jose (California) " Daily Mer cury " of April 21 gives an account of an interview with two veterans of the Philip pine war just returned from the front. E. H. Koert and Howard Cunning, two young men who served in the Philippine war, talk freely about the celebrated " water cure" as used in the far Eastern islands. They agree that the " cure" is administered often, but defend the American troops for employing it. "It may be painful," say the veterans, "but it is more treacherous, nor is it fatal."

Koert and Cunning defend the Americana in the administration of the " water cure." "If these people who hold up their hands in holy horror at the stories of the ' water cure' had seen what I have," said Koerfe last night, " they would feel like going to the Philippines and joining a ' water cure* squad, ' "It's all rot to talk about the 'cure* killing the victims. It never kills unless the victim has some organic weakness, which renders him unable to stand the ' cure.*

."The fir3t time I saw the 'water cure* given was in the Province of Bataan, town of Orani. This is in Northern Luzon. There had been some atrocious murders of several of our men in a most treacherous manner. Several were actually dsmemb ered while still alive. In one instance four men were shot down but not killed. While helpless they were hacked to pieces with bolos. Their dead bodies were treated with, ■the most revolting indignities. Our boys were wild. We captured a Filipino and we could not make him talk. We wanted to know where some rifles and bolos were hidden. He was turned over to the " water cure " squad. " In my company, Sergeant Ferguson had charge of the' water cure' squad. He took this fellow away and treated him. " The man was not stripped except that his coat was removed. His hands were tied behind his back, and a rifle barrel thrust into his mouth between his teeth.

" This was held there firmly so that he could not close his mouth. One of our boys had a cocanut shell for a cup. The water was dipped up with this and poured into the man's mouth.

" He was forced to swallow it or else suffocate. Naturally,' almost mechanically, I may say, the patient did swallow it. " He was stubborn and would not give the sign that he was ready to talk. There was plenty of water at hand and the ' cure* was cheap. It went into him, and the boys filled him pretty full I tell you. " He got so iull that his stomach and abdomen were visibly distended. He was ready to tell all he knew with one treatment. "The men I saw treated were not injured. The man in the first instance mentioned I knew well long afterwards, and we were good friends. He was not harmed in the least. He said that the * water cure ' made his heart beat fast. It seems to affect the heart in all cases.

" When this man was released and the gun barrel taken from hi 3 mouth he was dreadfully sick, of course. The volume of water forced into his stomach was quicker in effect than any possible .emetic sriveu by a doctor, but it was thrown off. It Was the same in the other case.

" Yes i know.it sounds cruel, and may be ci uei, but if those men in the Senate who ceusure the .American soldiers so seriously had had sons butchered as 1 have scon our men butchered, the tortues inflicted, and and then'the revolting crimes committed against the dead, they would not be bo ready to ooudemn the Americans for em pioying the ' water cure' to make these murderers tell where they have their gun* hidden. Our whole care whs to get the guns. ' " I saw only one Filipino treated. He was held flat on his back with a rifle barrel in his mouth. The water was poured into him until he swelled up like a horse in flated with colic. He talked all right.

" Nobody jumped on his stomach to force the water out, or beat him on the stomach. The charge has been made that this wa» done. This is not true, because it's not necessary. When he is let up the water comes out quiok enough. I tell you he is an awful sick man for a little while. .

" No I never heard of the boys continu ing this treatment after the man signified his readiness to talk. If he agreed to talk and then would not after he was tip, ifc was bad for him, since the second ' dose * was a hard one for sure.'

FLOATING KIDNEY, .^ DISORDERED LIVER, CHRONIC INDIGESTION, NEURALGIA IN THE SIDE AND BACK MR ERNEST A. CLEMENT, of the Taiti, who is in the employ of the Hutt County Council, relates his most remarkable case as follows:-—" To Proprie tor Plantekoa. Sir,—l feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit I have derived from the use of Plantekoa. 1 have been under treat ment for years for my kidneys, liver, and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a float ing kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for treatment, and in fact I have iodine and other things in the house now that weae supplied to paint my back. In addition to the complaint men tioned I used to suffer at times most ex cruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medi cines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say that Plantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any fui'ther information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing in a foot ball match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. During those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at niy work, the smarting, itching, and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have USED PLANTEKOA OINTMENT with result that I have not the slighest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is as clear as that of a little child. % While in a very heated condition I put on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs, and hands were / free. Suffice to say that whatever way it came Plantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the con dition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience PLANTEKOA STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL."

Ross' Antidote and Ointment The Great Herbal Remedy for Purifying the Blood. rt HE following unsolicited Testimonial , I by a gentleman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself : — Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He * added, Will you take some medicine if I procure ifc; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this. —I remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bkos., and Sheabman Beos., Ashburton. Fob CYCLING SHOES, GO TO H.
