The Saxon Red Cross has created a special committee, which has charge of
relief measures after great calamities. The society sent $5,000 and a
large amount of supplies to the Italian earthquake relief.
SPAIN.
The Spanish Red Cross has received from Monsieur Bayod, pharmacist of
the court, two automatic apparatus for the production of oxygen. The
contributions of this society for the Italian relief amounted to some
$20,000, besides a large amount of supplies.
SWITZERLAND.
The Swiss Red Cross has suffered the misfortune of again losing by death
its President, Monsieur Pestalozzi. We desire to express, on the part
of the American Red Cross, our sincere sympathy to our sister society.
The Swiss Red Cross raised $108,646 for the Italian relief. A number
of houses were built in Reggio and Messina, which shelter seventy-four
families.
TURKEY.
At the time of the Armenian massacres the International Committee
received an appeal from the College of Tarsus for Red Cross assistance
for the victims. The Committee telegraphed to the Committee of
Constantinople, asking it to render immediate aid. The latter replied by
telegraph that owing to the lack of personnel, and because of conditions
in Constantinople, it was unable to respond to this appeal. By letter it
also expressed its regrets that it could not send aid to Adana, as its
stores had been entirely exhausted during the Greco-Turkish war and not
replenished. From its small funds it, however, appropriated $400 for the
relief at Adana. The letter, which was signed by Fayk G. della Sudda, as
President of the Red Crescent, told of the difficulties under the old
government, which almost prohibited the society from raising any funds,
but states that under the new government it hopes to make rapid progress.

_Instantaneous_
is the relief from the acute stinging pain of inflammations and
eczematous eruptions about the mucocutaneous margins when =Resinol
Ointment= is applied. And a permanent cure is effected by this remedy
with greater facility in all skin affections where a local application is
indicated than by any other method. As a dressing for Burns, Carbuncles,
etc., there is nothing approaches it.
=Resinol Soap= is the greatest adjunct to the Ointment, and renders the
necessary bathing of the parts an aid to the cure, where the ordinary
application of water and other soaps usually increases the trouble.
