Gonts You may perhaps romemborthat I
wroto you sovorat weeks ago In regard tp
(tie uao of tho Pe no vi an Stiicp fot my wife,
who was suffering from gonoral debility, the
sequonoo of Typhoid Dysentery. I had
tried tho most noted physicians in this State,
and also in Canada, without relief. At your
recommendation sbo commoncoa tho uso
ot the Syrup, tho first four bottles mado but
little Improsslon, but while taking tho fifth
aho began to Improve rapidly, and now, af
ter using six of tho dollar bottles, she has
regained her strength, and Is able to do
moat of the work about the houso; and I
feel that I cannot speak too highly in praise
of tho Peruvian Strut. I havo prescribed
It to several of my patients, and havo pro

Chloago. 8ept. fi The Times London social
savs tho battle of Plevna hnd a soothing
effect upon tho Greeks. Before thatoyont
thoywero pushing their preparations for
war with commondablooolorlty, Since that,
although their preparations for war continue,
they aro proiocutinn them with great delib
eration. Whethortboy will hereaftor aocel
cratoor retard thorn, will dopend wholly
upon tho result of tho next heavy battle bo
tweon the Russians and Turks.
Tho Servians aro also very much less hur
ried than Immediately after Gourkn crossed
tho Balkans. It scorns. qulto certain If the
Turks do not beat tho Russians within tbo
noxt week or Ion days their opportunity will
Havo passed. At tho end of that tlmo tho
itusslans will have rccolvod their reinforce
ments and will bo ready, If over, to crush
out tholr opponents.
If the Russians do not vory soon secure a
defeat of tuo Turks there aro excellont rea
sons for believing that they novor will, The
flnanolal condition of Russia alone almost
precludos tho Idea of anothor yoar's cam
paign. Tho Roumanian forces aro disgusted
at being forced to cross the Danube. They
ox peeled when organized to remain on the
defensive They aro badly armod and pro
visioned, greatly demoralized aud hated by
the Turks, who will not tako any prisoners.
Mehemet, advancing from the captured
positions on the Lom, is fortifying llko Hal
feck titer Shlloh.
There Is a conformation or the abandon
ment or the siege or Schtpka by Snlolman,
A telogram rrora Bucharest says It Is roared
tho Turks are about to send a force north of
tho Danube. There aro rumors of hoavy
Hunting on tho right wing of Osruan's foroos,
resulting In a substantial Russian success.
Constantinople, Sopt, 6. Ahmod Pasha
yesterday repulsed tbo Russians' attack at
Kadikol, near Rutaohtiok. The Russians
lost 1,000 men. The Turks have obtained
still further command of tho Gabrova road
toSchlpka pass. Cannonading was going
on botween hostile batteries In tho pass.
London Sept. C A correspondent at Sohlp
ka pass says the Rusilsns havo mado a flno
road up tbo pass for tho passage or a large
army. In Roumelta new bridges and othor
Improvements on tho road are still being
made.
Chicago, Sept. 0. Tbe Times' London
apeolalsavs London was never ooxoitod
sinoo tho Rnsatana crossed the Danube. Tho
oity Is Inundated with rumors of battlos In
overy direction of the most sanguinary char
acter, all asserting Russian successes. Only
offlolal reports can bring order out or the
bloody chaos or events between the Danubo
and tbe Balkans. Plevna was oarrlod by
storm after repeated desperate assaults and
Indosorlbablo carnage. Thedofoat or Me
hemet and tho uttor roulo or the Turks out
side ot tbo Shumla Rnstohuk line aro among
tho many contradictory and Imperfect re
ports from the soenoof operations. Tho oo
curronoe of tbo ovents and tbo immlnenoo of
otbors ol equal importanoo la tbooxousofor
ronewod domands by the English press for
putting an end to the war. Tho war has
boon so bloody, Inflicting such enormous
damago and suffering, and which, If con
tinued another yoar, will bo sure to ruin one
or both bolllgorents and drag other Europe
an nations into It, that It ought to bo ended
without further saorltloo. It la not British
Interests that are endangorod by the proba
ble Russian suoooues, but tbo war should
bo onded for tho sako of humanity. Frantic
appoala to tbla effect form tbo burdou of tbe
most Turkophilo Journals.
London, Sopt. 6. The Russian success at
Lovatz makes O-tman Pasha have a hostile
force on both flanks. Either dofoat at Plovna
or attempted withdrawal may result in tho
destruction of his army unless tho Russians
are compelled to weaken their foroos on that
sldo to oneok Mebomet All's advanoe from
Rasgrad. The latter seoma to plaoe tho euro
witch's army In a position very similar to
Osman Pasha's, If Turkish accounts may be
trusted. A Turkish roroe has orosserfthe
Loin and reached tbe neighborhood of Obor
tine, whllo another force has crossed the
Kara Lom to Patomarka. These foroos are
understood to bo operating against Glela,
but they Jeopardise the wbolo Russian cam
paign oast ofthe Yantra as woll as commu
nications with Tlrnova.

connected with tbo war.
Now Yo:k, Sept. 5. Tho Horald has tho
following nn the attack on Plevna yostorday,
datodat Peredlu, Sept. 4th. al 10 p.m.:
Fighting began this morning about 10
o'clock. Tho advnnco hod bogun about 0,
but thero was considerable delay, owlug to
thelrregulnrllleaof tho ground at various,
points along tho 18 mllos of front. Tho
Turkish outposts wore encountered almost
Immediately by tbo Russian skirmish line,
but they fell back without any hesitation
after soolng that tho advance was made In
force. When tbe Turkish outposts had fall
ou back upon their main plokot tho lino of
tho Russian army was at once strengthened
and ongaged the enemy until tho main body
began to arrlvo. Tho regiments as they
came np wero Immediately formed in lino
of battle and at once becamo engaged. The
artillery Are along the entire line or the
Russian advanoe was steady and destruc
tive Tho Russian gunners by their rapid
praotico admirably covered the advanoe or
their infantry as tho latter pushod forward
seeking closer contact with the enemy. The
Turks In the meantime wero fighting stub
bornly but entirely on the defensive. Tho
fighting that onsued as soon as tbo entire
movement bad been fairly unmasked by the
Russians, was of the moat terrlflo character,
both on tho part or the Turks and their as
sailant. Almost every strategic point along
tho whole lino of operations was the scene of
desporato charges by the Russians. In near
ly ovory I nntanoo when tho Russians readi
ed tho Turkish positions they suooeeded In
carrying thorn, despito the Irregularity of
tho ground occupied by tho movement or
tholr forces. Tho Turkish positions, though
In tho main well ohoosen en hilly ground,
wore stormod with an Impetuosity that
swept tho enemy before It, though In many
Instances at heavy loss In killed and
wonnded. Tho dofenso oftho Turks was de
termined and desporato, but they were un
able to withstand tho onslaught of their op
ponenuj and wero compelled to retire sulloa
iy from position after position. Before noon
tbo Turks had been driven Into their last
lino of intronohments. Meanwhile, having
boon Informed by spies of the existence of a
by road, or sort of spur or the main thor
oughfare, between Byela and Plevna, tho
grand duke ordered a division or cavalry to
make the detour necessary to It and to at
tempt a flank movement fom the northward.
This operation la now being carried on. Aa
I wrote the last sentence a courier dashed
Into camp. He was reported to say that the
troops or the loft wing were doing grand
work before Lovata. and that the town
would certainly be taken before dark. A
stafforrloer high In rank said to me a mo
mont later, "If that be true, we shall enter
Plovna to-morrow." loan only aay that
overy thing sooms to Indicate such a result.
The oattle still oontlnnes, and from the artil
lery firing whloh I hoar off In the distance to
tho northward, It seoms probable that tho
flank movemoat has boon discovered. Up
to thomomontthecourlor departa with this
dispatch the Russians have not suffered any
serious cheok. and it seems vory probable
that tbo prophooy regarding Plovna will
prove truo.
