LEO'S PHYSICIANS SAY
CANCER REPORT IS ABSURD

THE reasons for denying the cancer
reports are that in the pleuritic liquid
nothing specific is found neither the
elements of Inflammation OF the epithe-
lium nor baccilii of any other kind, which
might reveal the presence of cancer. The
cyst for which an operation was per-
formed on the pope in 1899. has nothing
to do with the present illness. 1t was
merely a dermoid cyst, in the nature Of
q harmless tumor. Moreover, the age Of
the patient Is too advanced for him to
have cancer. If he had cancer, Il
would be possible to feel 1t by objective
examination, or to discover 1t by sound
ing. If the initial disease instead of be-
ing simple pneumonia had been cancer
and had not been treated as such. no
amelioration could have occurred, while
it is proved fact that the obtuse pull
monary area has gradually diminished
and has now become merely a small
pneumonia nucleus which probably is
identical with the area with which the
disease originated"

termining the party's position, and In
molding opinion In regard to the party.
1t has been said that no principle is worth
living for that is not worth dying for;
and so 1t may be said, that no political
principle is worth fighting for that is
not worth suffering defeat for and as a
matter of fact ones devotion to prin-
ciple must be measured by what he Is
willing to suffer In its behalf, not by the
reward he is willing to accept for sup
porting 1t.
1.-THE democratic party must appeal to
the democratic sentiment of the country
and this sentiment Is far wider than any
party. Wherever the question has been
submitted In such a way that 1t could be
acted upon independently there has al
ways been an overwhelming majority in
favor of that which was democratic, and
our party can appeal successfully to its
democratic spirit, If we but convince the
people Of our earnestness, and of our
fidelity to those principles.
Party Is Handicapped.
I'VE are handicapped Just now by the
fact that the last democratic adminis-
tration that we had was more subservi-
ent to corporation dictation than any re-
publican administration that had pre-
ceded it, and the record of that adminis-
tration has been a milestone about the
party's neck ever since. The influence
exerted by Wall street over the adminis-
tration's policy, the use Of patronage to
reward those who betrayed their con-
stituents and the employment of the most
reprehensible of republican methods
made the administration stencil In the
nostrils of the people and kept in the re-
publican party many who were disguised
at that partys course. The odium which
Mr.. Clevelands second administration
brought upon the party which elected
him did more to defeat the party than
any one plank of the Chicago platform
even all the planks that were most Sc
verely criticized But for the repudia-
tlon Of the administration 1t would have
been impossible to make any campaign
at all. and even the repudiation. thorough
and complete as it was, could not COM
pletely disinfect the party.
"The greatest menace that the party has
to meet today is not the probability, but
the possibility of the party's return to
the position that 1t occupied from 1892 to
1896. This danger is not so imminent as
the corporation-controlled papers make 1t
appear, but insofar as 1t all threatens, 1t
paralyzes the energies of the party and
nullifies its promises Such articles would
indicate degradation of the party's ideals
and perversion of its purpose. 1t ought
not to be necessary to remind you that
our last experiment with a commercialized
democracy chapged democratic majority
Of 100000 In 1892 into a republican major
ity of more than million In 1896. 1t ought
not to be necessary to appeal to history
a knowledge OF human nature and a faith
in the integrity of the people ought to
convince us that both principle and ex-
pediency lead to an honest fight. waged

us a victory woth having, and this VIC

For many years this old gentleman
had suffered with a very unpleasant

would have to get up four or five times
avery night. and this very tiresome dis
ease was fast wearing him out.

to get relief, he stumbled over a medi-

diately, and has cured him permanent

simple that Mr.. Turner thinks every
one should know of it. Every dealer
In the country has it. and all you have
to do Is to ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills.

lily have used them, too, and always
with the best results. l think they have
