Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo-
pie have brought internal parasites, or
tapeworms, to me. In many cases
these people did not know the natrue
of the parasite, and were consequently
extremely nervous until explained
the matter to them. In some cities
SO many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.

In his speech he said
The men whom ! have met and con
yersed with in the American Federation
OF Labor are, as a rule, OF the opinion
that 1t would be unwise TO support Mr..
Bryan. The election of Mr.. Taft means

and sound lines. | have an abiding
faith in the intelligence and loyalty of
the workingmen to vote for Taft and
the party and principles that made it
possible for our workingman to occupy
the eminent position he does, as com
pared with the position occupied by the
unfortunate brother in the Democratic
South, where the Democratic party has
opposed the enactment of factory laws,
child labor laws and the organization
of workingmen."

rotary S. II. Ingram of the Central La
Dor Union of Terre Haute, Ind. issued

New York World Says II Is Framed
in the interests of PIutocracy.
(From the New York World.)
Mr. Mack must share the amazement
of the World over a pretended Demo
cratic platform which, while reiterat
ing ''its abiding faith in the princi
pies of Democracy as against plutocra-
cy," is framed in the interests of the
very plutocracy it processes to de-
nounce.
1t is a platform for the protection
of Wall street gamblers: for the pro
lection of inst ,lnce criminals; for the
protection of traction thieves; for the
protection of Ryan Hartman Stockton
bers; for the protection of rich tax
dodgers; for the protection of preda
tory corporations. 1t is a betrayal of
Democratic principles: it is a betrayal
Of the Democratic party it is be
travail of the Democratic masses.
Standing before the people on such
a platform. and on such a platform
alone, no Democratic candidate could
be elected TO Office either in New York
or in any State north of Mason and
Dixon's line Fortunately for the
Rochester nominees. most of them
have public records which give the
lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions.
