Hecent reports of an earlj^opening
of the Siberian country to foreign set
tlement are somewh.it discounted by
file statement of one of the Karieff
brothers, who arrived in Nome on the
Siberian trader Fiver a few days ago
after wintering at one of the Karieff
trading stations. Ho says that as far
as Is known at present in the Anadyr
coast section, conditions are such that
there Is little immediate prospect of
the country being thrown open, and all
persons entering the country are still
under the necessity of obtaining a
special permit. He says, however,
that a new government was establish
ed this spring at Petropavlosk, the
administrative center of the North
eastern section of the country but no
news regarding its intentions had been
received up to the time of his depar
ture. Three factions arc still in con
flict over the administrative control
of Siberia and he is not definitely
aware "f which one is in control of the
Petropavlosk government. Hi* says
the first government boats are expect
ed to arrive shortly and until they do
it will be impossible to say decisively
what will he the outlook for foreigners
entering lhe country without special
permission. He believes, however,
that the conclusion of pence will have
a somewhat settling effect on the Si
berian situation and expresses the
view that some arrangements may he
made between the United States and
Siberia as the Siberians are favorable
to Americans and would be glad to
have Americans come into their coun
try with their machinery and progres
sive ideas. The residents of the sec
tion opposite Nome are generally In
clined ‘to the Allied cause an1 would
welcome the entry of Americans, he
says. There Is little mining going on
in Northeastern Siberia at present. A
few foreign prospectors art in the
country, but their status and property
holding rights are not fully determin
ed and may not l»e decided until
the struggle for governmental control
is ended. ^Ithough not inclined to

Nuxated Iron
mic people suaer rronx iron deflclsnag
but do not know what to take. There
is nothing like organic iron—Nuxated
Iron to quickly enrich the blood, put
roses in the cheeks of women and give
men that youthful “punch," vitality
and "staying" power. A patient of
mine said to me after a short course
of Nuxated Iron: "Say, Doctor, this
prescription works like magic."
Unlike the older forms of iron, Nux
ated Iron does not injure the teeth nor
upset tlie stomach, but is readily as
similated and you can quickly recog
nize its action by a renewed feeling of
snap, vigor and increased staying
power.
No matter what other iron reme
dies you have used without success if
you are not strong or well you owe
it to yourself to make the following
test:
See how long you can work or how
tar you can walk without becoming
tired; next take two five-grain tab
lets of Nuxated Iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. Nuxated Iron
Increases the strength, power and en
durance of delicate, nervous, run
down people 100 per cent in ten day’s’
time in many Instances.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. Sullivan can be obtained
from any good druggist, with or with
out a physician’s prescription, on an
absoulte guarantee of success or mon
