Is truly wonderful. would advise all who are
afflicted to call upon you for help. You know
how feeble our child was when he was first
brought to you for treatment; he could not
walk, could only creep, though years Of age;
could only recline on the floor when ut play; he
was afflicted with spinal trouble, infantile pa
ralysis, also q very bad posterior curvature of
the spine, giving dwarfed appearance to his
little back and chest. We had ceased to hope
for anything better, as he had been treated re-
gardless of expense, but yet Of no avail; and
now, after being under your treatment, he
walks all the time; In fact, can take quite
walk, and runs and plays with other children.
You have done wonders for the child. Every
one exclaims at the great change in his looks
and actions, and asks what produced such an
Improvement. tell them all, DR.. Sweet. We
shall be pleased to offer words of encourage.

A0E How have been AFFLICTED
UAOE Ia for the past u years every
adult inhabitant of Mid
dleboro knows. For the last 8 months, my lame.
ness had become SO distressing that was drawn
over my head on level with my hips, and could
sustain myself on my feet only by resting my
hand on one leg for support For more than II
years I have been sorely afflicted with kidney,
rheumatic and bladder difficulties, the latter of
which, of years. standing, has been helped by
DR.. Sweet amazingly; and, with all, have been
obliged to go about my work, where other men
would have given upin despair had imagined
that there was no cure for me, and had about
given up all hope. After three weeks treat.
ment, left off the hand support, was able to
employ a cane, with marked Improvement in
walking, and now after 5 weeks treatment, I
have THROWN ASIDE MY STAFF AND WALK
ERECT. The Kidneys have recovered In n great
measure their function, while the bladder is
greatly improved. To see me walking erect
again, after being so long cripple, has created
more talk in Middleboro than raising the dead
to life. I am being congratulated on every
hand. You all know me. No one can conceive
how great is my gratitude and relief.

his friends in almost every city IN the
State. 1t was In the rural districts that
he made the best run. and it was their
|majorities that secured his election. Now
1t is not reasonable to suppose that expan-
sion is popular in the country and unropu
lar in the cities. The chances are that the
opposite is the case. The country is like
ly to be more conservative than the cities
where there are large numbers of restless
and unemployed. If expansion had been
prominent issue the chances are there
fore that Col Roosevelt would have made
gains in the cities as well as in the coun-
try.
Results which are inexplioable on the
assumption that expansion was q pre-
dominating or even prominent issue be-
come simple enough when we assume that
state issues were the controlling ones. It
was natural that o man with the record
| for fearlessness and independence which
Col Roosevelt enjoyed should not find
favor with the large and powerful ele-
ment in the cities which thrives upon
lax enforcement Of law. 1t was natural
too that the country which fears and
breads an extension Of Tammany's power
should look with extending disfavor on
the elevation to the governors chair of u
man who was likely to be as much the
puppet of Boss Croker as his brother had
been in the Mayors chair of Greater New
York. There is no mystery about the
different attitudes of the city and country,
when we assume that the predominating
issues were the extension of Crokerism
and the enforcement of law. All the facts
fit in with the theory that state issues
were the controlling ones; none of them
is consistent with the theory that ex-
pansion was a prominent issue.
Stronger evidence even is afforded by
the results in the congressional districts,
that expansion had nothing TO do with
Roosevelt's success. Voters anxious for
expansion would hardly have been guilty
of voting for Roosevelt in order to boom
that policy, and at the same time voting
for congressional candidates without re-
gard to their views on this subject, as
they must have done, inasmuoh as some
of the congressman elected are known to
be in favor of thai policy, while others.
notably Mr.. Wadsworth. who voted
against the annexation of Hawaii, are
well known to be opposed to 1T. II the
people of New York had been trying to
go on record in favor of expansion they
would not have been guilty o. the absurd
ity of electing to the executive chair,
which mas nothing to do with expansion.

ROBUST MANHOOD

DIR. Greene's Nervura Blood and Nerve Rem-
edy Insures the Greatest Power, Strength
and Vigor

No such thing as failure in life is
possible in perfect manhood. 1t is lack
OF vital force weakness and inactivity
OF body and mind that strews the world
with human wreckage. Weak blood fails
to nourish the nerves and muscles. A
noticeable failure of strength ensues.
A feeling of exhaustion follows, which
the usual opportunities for rest do not
overcome. Sleeplessness is the next
symptom of a decadence, intensifying
the nervous arrangement that exists.
The stomach becomes affected, as shown
in nervous dyspepsia, and the sufferers
begin to despair of recovery.

Croker attributes Roosevelt's election

cess of Chanler over Quigg," he says, IL.
illustrates ths popularity Of soldier candi-
dates'' At the same time he says New
York city never did more for Demo-
cratic candidate than it did for Van
Wyck. 1t is little curious if it WAS
Roossselt's popularity as soldier
that electsd him that it did not
have any effect in New York city.
The fact is that Croker falls back on this
explanation simply because 1t is the best
one TO relieve him from the charge which
the Democratic papers are making that
Croker himself was responsible for Roose-
velt's election.

That the Australian ballot as used in
Massachusetts operates to the disadvantage
of the candidates whose names follow
that of the head of the ticket is shown In
the comparison of the vote for Wolcott
and for the various congressman. In the
case of Congressman Walker the discrep-
ancy between his vote and that of the
governor is several times the majority
by which his opponent is said to have de-
feated him. Walker recelvsd nearly
thousand less votes than Wolcott did, but
it is not likely that there were thousand
voters in the Worcester district SO thor
oughly disgruntled with the congressman

operating, and therein lies one of it's
greatest virtues. 1t docs not sesm to us

that there were a Thousand Republicans
