British Diplomats Vlow,
At time when the British Government is urgently improssing on the Shah the imporativa necessity of convoking elected Parliament, ið is ourious to dod, in
the Bina book just published a despatch
in which Mr Charles Me Marling, English 14Charge d'fhairos" at Teheran when the Inst Mojlia was in session, expressed a FUTY decided opinion that Fersis will not be Bb. for representative institutions for another
sixty years. Writing to Sir Edward Grey
on January Sad, 1908, His Majesty'a re- prosentative remarked that the Mojlis had. showa no aptitude whatever for ita proper (functions. He went on to my: ---
This also ignorant and corrupt.. There is probably only a small minority of the Assembly who are sinoere in wishing foz reform or have anything but a vague idos of what it would imply; and though some of those, such as, Taki Zado, carry great weight in the Assembly, the ignorauð majority of deputies are often swayed by five or six powerful and self-interested: members who really guide the work of the House. Of the corruption'a single instabes will suffer. "Larga sums have bean collect",

Should this be true, with dishonesty such as this, and with self-interest and mutual distrust mampant there is not much to be hoped for fromthe Assembly as it now exists. Nor is it likely. Also, that s new election would result in the return of better membors. The fact is that Persia

Nerve Strain and Exhaustion
Mr. Henry Fatman's marvellous conquest of the air is another of those brilliant triumphs of nerve force and andurafice which arÒ made possible by the vitalising potency of Phosferine.
The master minds, the leaders of men, have ever been the forgmest to esteem the energising efficacy of Phosferine, but the very inportones and difficulty of Mr. Farman's historic achievement is the strongest. possible proof of the supreme restorative qualities possessed by the greatest of all tonics. Mr. Farman expresses. the warmest apprecia Bon for the permanent staying power and resistance which Phosfarine imparted to his fervo system, enabling him to withstand the avera strain of the unexpected risks and hazards of aerial fight. ...
Mr. Farman puts it on record that the very superabundance of energy imparted by Phoslerine makes for mental and physical alert-
· ness, and in his own case, prevents the ill health and effects of exposure, which would so greatly increase the risks of his experiments.
Stopped and entirely prevented.
Mr. Henry Farman, the marvellous Flying Man" 22, Rua Avenue de la Grande, Armee, Paris, writes:-"I am pleased to endorse the merits of Phosterine as a nerve tonic of the highest quality. As an aeroplanist my nerve system is continually subjected to the severe strair of unexpected risks and hazanfs, but I have found, Phosferine. to be a splendid bulwarke agains: all kinds of exhaustion You » preparation imparts and stimulates a mental alertness and physical energy which has contributed immensely to the success of arial fights. Even the most careful calculations are apt to be upset by the effects of exposure, but in my case Phosferine has completely fortified me against all such evils. At the present time I am in excellent health and spirits, both sleeping and eating well, and this desirable condition is certainly due to Phosferine February 17, 1909..
