Sufferers Seek Relief.

In the days of the Czars, Britain and the British Empire easily became impressed with a Russian scare in the heart of Asia. There was always a fear that some Foreign Office in some other country was minded to grab some doubtful territory.

Many millions, the world over, suffer.
